Rillaboom @ Life Orb / Terrain Extender Ability: Grassy Surge Tera Type: Rock EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe Jolly Nature - Swords Dance - Grassy Glide - Wood Hammer / Knock Off - Tera Blast Tera rock is rarely a particularly useful tera type but Rillaboom has a variety of things...

Only didn’t talk about these before because my phone kept refreshing the page and losing progress and it was wayyy too early in the morning for me to deal with that, but a couple more noms: :Rillaboom:: B -> B+ While I don’t think Rilla’s direct value has improved very much, I think grassy...

A lot has been said on Ceruledge, Latios, Deo-S, Waterpon, Gweezing, Heatran, Hatt, A9T/veil abusers, etc so I won’t reiterate on those as they constitute the most obvious VR changes, but I do think there are a few deserving moves among the rest of the field: :thundurus-therian:: C+ -> B...

Iron Moth being due for a further drop (let alone multiple tiers from A-) feels out-of-date imo. Yes it hates well-established Ting Lu and Dnite, rising Heatran usage (though much of this use is flame body Heatran), some Glowking variants, and most Gargs, sure, and if you let your thought...

Banded slither so goated, first impression in sun hits resists harder than boots Lokix’s and outside of tera flying Heatran it can 2HKO anything. Bout time it got a bit more respect as a tactical nuke and not just a defensive piece

What bulk it’s all in both attacking stats lol

A couple new sets I’ve been trying: Kyurem @ Leftovers / Heavy-Duty Boots Ability: Pressure Tera Type: Water EVs: 56 HP / 200 SpA / 252 Spe Naive / Hasty Nature - Freeze-Dry - Tera Blast - Substitute - Dragon Dance Water Tera Blast compresses a lot of value into one slot for Kyurem...

Idt that Gunk Shot is unnecessary—at the very least, it’s very valuable that it offers strong neutral coverage against Moltres, and the other fairy coverage on your team either isn’t good into Moltres or isn’t likely to fall on Moltres as the correct defensive answer to them. Supercell slam is...

Lowkey if you can actually setup a plot or SD it looks pretty nasty, the main struggle is actually getting to set up tho as Infernape isn’t exactly bulky, to put it lightly I support an attempt at making it work tho

I did say it was niche lol The main benefit is that you’re not locked into cashing in your boost on your first switch-in. Besides that, it gives you a oneshot on Cinderace, Moltres, Dragonite if multiscale is broken even by 1hp (or if already at +1 from fiery dance it’s a roll through...

As much as current meta trends are not favorable for Raging Bolt and Iron Moth, I do feel they have some underexplored adaptations to cope (especially Raging Bolt). Let me elaborate: Raging Bolt hates the omnipresence of Ting Lu, the more frequent stacking of ground types, and the downtrend of...

As Specs Val’s biggest shill I have no choice but to approve, nice team and grats on the peak

Lefties Sub + Tkick + BB + Knock is literally exactly the other set I was interested in trying lol this thing has no business being UR

Credit to the VR team due, the D rank has almost everything that ought to be in it!

Shitmon Showcase: Personal Ranking of best UR mons For all of you who adore an out-of-left-field pick, particularly one that doesn’t receive the turn 3 dishonorable discharge sac in the obligatory blunder/pokeaim/freezai video, I’ve compiled my thoughts as to which mons not currently on the VR...

Reun can be very good into HO, provided that you run LO with TR + 3 attacks. HO struggles to deal with the combination of psynoise/psyshock, focus blast, and shadow ball off Reun’s high spatk boosted by a free LO, and you’re underspeeding anything that’s being run on an HO team. I would caution...

A “glorified” slow uturn on a competent (albeit otherwise passive) physical wall with reliable recovery makes Corv instantly better than all of C tbh That’s not to say Corv is particularly good, it is almost entirely shut down by one of the best mons in the tier to the point that unless you’re...

Amazing build, I’ve been running similar builds with Hatt + non-boots flying/levitate spam (taking advantage of the fact that while Hatt can’t prevent all hazards from going up, it is pretty consistent at denying rocks—MB Tink is on the rise though, so I might need to start building those with...

Rises: Ting Lu :ting-lu:: A+ > S- It’s all been said already. I’ll emphasize that this thing’s unusual ability to make use of lefties even on removal-free hstack teams needs to be studied. It just stays in so long (and resists rocks) that it heals it all off so often I swear. Garchomp...

Some tamer, but practical innovations for y’all: Kingambit @ Rocky Helmet Ability: Supreme Overlord Tera Type: Ghost / Fairy EVs: 212 HP / 252 Atk / 44 Spe Adamant Nature - Swords Dance - Iron Head - Kowtow Cleave - Sucker Punch Helmet Gambit with the standard bulky EV spread is extremely...
