They're pretty similar. Right off the bat, Iron Moth has higher base SpA (140 to Volcarona's 135) and Speed (110 to Volcarona's 100). Volcarona is a little better defensively with slightly higher HP and Def but lower SpD. The big difference is that Volcarona gets Quiver Dance, and Iron Moth does...

Thanks for the comment. I agree on Meow and Breloom—Breloom especially is annoying. Dozo and Hatterene can switch in to Spore but neither wants to take a Bullet Seed. Hatt maybe can if not Tera’d and then hit back with Draining Kiss, but it’s still a problem. I don’t really think I’ve had...

Hey y'all. Since the release of Scarlet and Violet, I've gotten back into Showdown and competitive battling to an extent, but I'm still relatively new to teambuilding. Here's the main team I've been using on Showdown. I've been hovering around the 1500s, though I haven't exactly been grinding...

I've tried both abilities and agree with all this. Unaware Clod just does more. Being able to switch into NP Gholdengo and Skeledirge and not give a damn is huge. They can't do anything to you, and Skeledirge getting hit with toxic is rough for it

Assuming these principles to be true 1. Cyclizar with Shed Tail is broken 2. Cyclizar without Shed Tail is not broken 3. Orthworm with Shed Tail is not broken We can say that Shed Tail, as a move standing alone, does not render mons broken. But is there no consideration of the fact that Shed...

Seems like ppl in here want every mon in OU to be suspected

That truly makes no sense, but good to know

I’ve tried sticking Slowking + Baxcalibur on otherwise non-snow teams, and it feels decent. Run Thunder Wave on Slowking as support for Bax. Paralysis + the defense boost helps Bax set up

I see it more as a buff for the item than a buff for tera. I like the idea of having a variety of usable items instead of a few usable items and a bunch of worthless ones. It’s a moot point if tera gets banned anyway

They should change Black Sludge to not harm mons whose base type is poison, regardless of tera, as the potential of tera-ing makes the item pretty much unusable

Base 80 SpA is not particularly scary. Ghost as a Tera type doesn’t really do anything for Toedscruel defensively (i.e., doesn’t flip weaknesses to resists or immunities), and then you’ve wasted your Tera. Think Toadscruel already wants to fit a lot of utility moves into four slots, and it’s...

Saw someone running this and it seems interesting Salamence @ Life Orb Ability: Intimidate Tera Type: Steel EVs: 252 SpA, 252 Spe, 4 Def Naive Nature - Draco Meteor - Flamethrower - Tera Blast - Earthquake Guessing on the nature and EVs; could possibly invest some in bulk to live certain...

I am kind of a noob and am not intimately familiar with the OU metagame as it stands, so it seems possible that Gengar is truly outclassed by other mons right now, but I think there are a couple of things that might distinguish Gengar… Gengar gets Nasty Plot and is faster than Gholdengo, so it...

Probably my favorite mon to use so far. I’ve been running a Jolly Band Protean set with Flower Trick, Knock Off, Play Rough, and U-Turn. Have y’all found any good mons / team comps to pair with Meow?

What’s a good EV spread for the AV set?

Hi there, I was using a trick room team very similar to this back before Darmanitan-G got banned. I didn’t run dual screens, which seems promising, but instead ran another special attacker in LO Vikavolt. It’s slow and packs a punch with a Modest/Quiet nature and a set of Thunderbolt / Bug Buzz...
