Really? Personally I haven't had much trouble against Gliscor. Ursaluna can either beat it or exploit it by Calm Minding when it tries to protect stall you. At +1, either it or a teammate will die to Blood Moon. Though I agree Torkoal can be annoying since it outslows you in TR.

Probably not a good idea to post my best team here since now some of you will be prepared for it if we fight on the ladder, but I already gave it to a random opponent, and I don't want someone else down the line taking credit for making it. :changry: Presenting: Bloodmoon Trick Room...

Being using this Trick Room team with moderate success: https://pokepast.es/956c5bb752438126 If you play optimally you should be able to set up TR a minimum of 4 times. If you store Hat's Healing Wish and revive it with Rabsca it can heal itself to full HP and set up TR again guaranteed if it...

Have the bans not come into effect yet? I just had a battle where my opponent tera'd

Oh Girafarig is banned? F :( Also I got a question, how do you make a Pokemon's tera type the same one as its original type? I wanted to use tera dragon Fraxure but during the battle it turns to its Cross Evo's type :/

Great Tusk is much more relevant than those 2. And either way you can run Sacred Sword if you really want to deal with them. In any case Aqua Cutter sets are probably still viable, I just think that using Surf has its merits.

Razor Shell is boosted by Sharpness, but Surf does more damage to most variants of Great Tusk. 4 SpA Samurott-Hisui Surf vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Great Tusk: 324-384 (74.6 - 88.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery 252 Atk Sharpness Samurott-Hisui Aqua Cutter vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Great...

I disagree, Samurott has a ton of qualities that differentiate it from other Spikers. Ceaseless Edge goes through Magic Bounce Hatterene, it threatens Great Tusk with special water STAB, and it has utility with Knock Off allowing it to remove boots. All of this makes it impossible to avoid...

I don't have a Switch to test this, but usually in-game when you're forced to Struggle you do that automatically after pressing the FIGHT button, and the Terastalization button is inside the fight menu, so you don't get the chance to press it.

You should always run Tera Fighting imo. Ghost + Fighting STAB gives you almost perfect neutral coverage (ironically only resisted by hisuian zoroark lmao) while also giving you the resistance to Sucker Punch. Running Tera Blast isn't that big of a burden because even if you don't tera it's an...

imo fighting is the best type, as it allows you to survive a Kingambit's sucker punch and kill it back with Tera Blast / Focus Blast.

What are people thoughts on Hisuian Zororark? I get the impression that most think it's just a gimmick but imo it has a really legitimate niche. Illusion + 3 immunities adds another layer of mindgames on top of the one tera already creates, and more importantly it has the offensive tools to beat...

I've had a decent amount of success on the ladder with this team peaking at 1700. Maybe a better player could have even more success with it, but I wanna move on to build more teams so now I'm gonna give it away it to the world: Sticky Web Hazard Stack:

Both elephants, Torkoal and Hatterene are mons that are extremely viable that also can kill Gholdengo to then spin, or really discourage your opponent from spamming their hazards. Torkoal is sun exclusive yes but that's a super viable archetype right now. And I don't think you even need to bring...

Hey. Did you guys know that Garganacle learns BLOCK??? Saltcure + Block is an incredibely evil combination and it can lead to bullshit like this, it starts from turn 12: https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9ou-1733473006 If you manage to trap something like Blissey or Skeliderge you can...

I mean Shadow Tag or Arena Trap wouldn't be broken if they were given to a theoretical 6bst mon. The abilities are considered broken because they make almost every single Pokemon who get them bananas. I'm sure once Basculegion is released it will set the precedent that every Pokemon that has the...

iirc Dragonite was very good in gen 8 because of Heavy Duty Boots, and 99% you didn't even run Dual Wingbeat because all of its coverage moves were enough to get by. So in this scenario tera made a very good mon broken, not an unviable mon like you say.
