252+ SpA Tera Water Greninja Water Shuriken (15 BP) (4 hits) vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Iron Valiant in Rain: 280-336 (96.8 - 116.2%) -- approx. 93.8% chance to OHKO

…Huh. That’s actually pretty interesting, thanks! I was kinda caught by surprise when that killed lol, hadn’t even considered Loaded Dice

Yeah, I found that loaded dice is a lot better on rain since you're not as weak to hazards. Plus, you can reliably ohko/2hko literally every mon in the game with tera+rain. So its quite literally free elo lol.

This is my 3rd time smashing this guy with it. First and 2nd time I just got amoong to below 70% and swept his ass lmfao. https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9ou-1936960590

Yeah, I saw someone else talk getting up in the 1700s with a rain team a few minutes ago. I’m glad to see Greninja doing well because when I stopped playing Showdown to take a break about a month ago it was not doing well lol. I came back a few days ago, and I was honestly kinda surprised to see Best Frog in OU again. I guess I see why now O_o

Oh also, is there a reason for picking Floatzel over Barraskewda? I’m kinda curious since they have similar niches and I’d thought that Barraskewda was a bit stronger. Is it for a little extra bulk?

Barra doesn't have access to wave crash, so its pretty shit lol
