I have to say I'm pretty shocked reading these posts. I personally put tera blast as a 5 on the survey, above any of the other options, and I thought that was a pretty hot take, but sentiment has really shifted by the looks of it, a lot of people put the same. The thing about tera blast is we...

This is precisely what makes suspect tests SO hard for me. You coach yourself into a high ladder mindset, then the 1400-1500 gauntlet comes along, and you'll come across a standard looking team structure that has 4 mons with completely unpredictable bait sets. I'm not bitter about it I actually...

In that case my suggestion is to stay actively focused during the game :blobthumbsup: More seriously, what are you specifically struggling with? Sun struggles against other weather and it gets COOKED by hazards. Clodsire/Gastrodon also gives it a hard time.

I firmly believe roaring moon is broken without tera blast, but if we ban tera blast it will require a retest because the tera fairy set is what convinced a lot of others. I'd like to keep tera blast exclusively for that reason haha

Someone mentioned offensive regenerator pivots the other day. Funnily enough that day I ran into choice band alomomola. Aside from the shock of flip turn doing 40% to my ting lu, it was as bad as it sounds haha. It did get me thinking about this core though. :Cyclizar: @ Choice Band...

save your breath, these people think its a conspiracy and anyone who disagrees is just "part of it" whatever that means Ive been experimenting with enamorus, I'm not sure this is the final set but its where I've landed for now Enamorus @ Leftovers Ability: Cute Charm Tera Type: Ground...

Your takes are so bad I almost think you're ragebaiting us. How is zamazenta a "fat wall"? It's offensive. Other than Zama, kyurem can deal with every Pokemon on that list by itself, ursaluna can blow past all of them too. Raging bolt? Primarina, hydrapple? there's plenty of options. This reads...

It was such a shock to see probopass in the 1900s I think it was just surprise factor, people probably expected it to set rocks then explode. By the time they realised what's going on it had done its job. But I played against that team a few times and honestly if it came in on swords dance then...

It's still shaky at best and if kingambit teras or waits to come out last then it's useless. God forbid it has low kick. And iron defense doesn't work on any other steel types really. My comment was replying to an above post about Pokemon that fell out of favour, and that in previous...

In theory Magnezone should be killing it with all the steel types running around. I've used it to good effect to clear corviknight for scizor. But can you believe that if both are at full, specs magnezone will actually LOSE to kingambit, provided 1 ally has fainted, then kowtow + sucker is a...

Everyone saying zapdos can't check specs kyurem, but what if it's locked into earth power :blobthinking: does a pretty good job of checking it then, doesn't it!

Frosmoth is funny I definitely sweat when I see it at preview. I ran into one that other day that wasn't boots though, damn I felt bad watching it take 50% switching in. NEVER sack your physical attacker if one is still alive

I started the rillaboom discussion almost 2 pages ago, from the perspective that "it's not garbage" and grassy terrain structures have some merit. The reality is that they rely on rillaboom to set terrain. But everyone's fixated on why rillaboom on its own can't work. This wasn't the viewpoint i...

You're getting hung up on the Pokemon itself, what I'm talking about is what styles grassy terrain can enable. I also have ogerpon wellspring on my team with powerwhip/ grassy glide, which takes the place of rillaboom as a wallbreaker. Allows you to play 50/50 with gambits sucker punch

My conversations with Moyashi around rillaboom had me thinking. What could it do? Aside from the basic things we know it can do, here's something interesting I came up with. :Iron Treads: @ Metal Coat Level: 100 Jolly Nature Tera Type: Steel Ability: Quark Drive EVs: 252 Atk / 32 SpD / 224 Spe...

Garchomp uprising seems to have already started, I'm seeing mixed life orb chomp all over the ladder. Life orb fell off this gen so I really forgot how hard the attacks hit, especially when you can chain a Draco then earthquake at full power.

I don't know why but I've always been a volcanion hater. I think it's problem is the speed tier. It's strong sure, but so is walking wake, which does much the same at breaking with a better speed tier. Volcanion would do well in any situation where it's faster but what about situations where...

Call it a gut feeling. Do I have evidence? No. But I had this argument with finchinator about darkrai. On paper it seemed to be a reasonable conclusion, but in the end we had to kneecap it with a sleep ban (effectively making it ability-less too) and months later it's still A+ rank. I think...

I forgot about pecharunt, I think any change to rillabooms viability will be small, but zapdos and moltres were also seeing a boost in usage as (unreliable) checks to moon sweeps. Roaring moon had very little impact on rillaboom but moon checks often checked rilla as well, which suffocated it...

Not surprised rillaboom dropped. But with no roaring moon, I think corv will be less common and rillaboom could see a comeback, maybe. 252+ Atk Choice Band Rillaboom Wood Hammer vs. 244 HP / 36 Def Gliscor in Grassy Terrain: 325-384 (92.3 - 109%) -- 56.3% chance to OHKO People will be looking...
