The superior Steel-Flying bird is finally back To avoid a one-liner, I also have a question to fellow former or current Gen 8 players. As someone who used to be decent competitively but in current gen is kinda mediocre, was there a change in mindset you feel you had to apply while playing...

What I feel are major components in Gliscor's rise compared to Gen 7: General environment, both in reduction of hard counters to itself (ex. Ferrothorn, Celesteela) or it's playstyle (less defoggers) Gaining a very strong progress-making tool against its existing counters (Spikes) Tera ability...

Bro living in a parallel timeline

I feel so stupid lol, saw the small Tangrowth in the post and immagined the post was about it. Man do I miss it :blobsad:

I don't see it being that weak to Knock Off. Even in Gen 8 it almost never ran HDB so unless you are running the Assault Vest set it can take it without too many issues

It actually knows Shadow Ball so that could be a nice tech, or you could go Tera Ghost. Don't know though if it is worth the loss in utility

Just imagine a Gliscor just eating an Ice Punch

Libero also allows you to easily Court Change in the face of a Tusk burned on switch-in, which I always found quite useful/irritating (depending on the side)

Remember when GF randomly gave it Spikes last gen? They were trying to warn us of what they were about to do

In Italian we would say that we are debating the sex of the angels, but I argue Naganadel is at least on the same level, if not stronger. By the way now that I think of it, Paradoxes with BE kinda work as a progression from Ultra Beasts, just instead of getting the boost after every kill you get...

Wouldn't just anything physically bulky with Tera Grass work? Edit: Bulky and that can threaten/phase/status back

Yeah true, worse than Dragapult is that even Jolly at +2 Speed it is still slower than boosted Iron Valiant :tymp:

This actually reminds me, Serperior isn't the only old-gen starter coming back with OU viability. What is everyone's opinion on Blaziken with the new potential of Tera? I feel the mechanic addresses both of it's main flaws holding it back from last gen, which are difficulty in set-up and lack of...

I honestly don't think it would raise the power level of Tera that much, but the additional level of variance would probably force Tera preview as a solution

Wouldn't surprise me if it makes you neutral to every type and Tera Blast neutral to everything

You may want to check out a thread called SV OU DLC1 Viability List, since it seems to be still early for a ranking to be out yet. "Please explain the metagame to me" is kinda of a generic request

You know, that is kinda of a reasonable complaint. Many of the mons with the most insane type combinations are partially balanced by having a "kill-switch" for which you have to scout for. Being able to just Tera in potentially dangerous scenarios allows the user to abuse its good qualities much...

The obvious alternative would be Skill Swap - Magic Bounce for maximum practicality

What four years without my boy Serperior does to a man :eeveehide:

Going full RandBats with Screens+Psychic for Tera Poison /s
