LT122LP MOMA

Nice team and write-up! Whenever I use sub manaphy, I put Custap Berry on it. It gives you a sneaky out vs faster teams or things like dragapult and darkrai that might try to revenge kill for a bulkier team. I think you have the hazard control to fit it here!

hello here is some rough usage data for OLT based on the Top 50 OLT accounts (identified via prefix). Dont go wild interpreting this in contexts outside of OLT. There's a lot of cheese, personal preference, and survivorship bias contained within. The ELOs are mostly 1800+ but there are a few in...

If you're only using it as a hazard lead, then you're missing out. Swords dance and Assault Vest sets will get you much more milage. I recommend giving them a try. This is another pokemon where there's a big divide between higher and lower rank segments on how its used. Scarf and sash will only...

And was it not an intentional choice for those pokemon to be included in the pokedex in generation 9 with tera available?? Gamefreak's design intentions have little bearing on how Smogon elects to conduct tiering in the context of its own metagames. Smogon has its own tiering principles...

It's undesirable, TO YOU. 3 pokemon learn shed tail, 2 were issues in OU, with sceptile waiting to do the same thing. 4 pokemon learn last respects, it was an issue on all of them. every pokemon learns tera blast. It was good on volcarona. That pokemon was riding more off its ability to get 2...

There are like 70 fully-evolved pokemon in generation 9. Tera blast is available on every single one of them. It has significant usage on a single-digit cohort. I'd argue that none of those are overpowering. Maybe exclusively dragonite has "broken" interactions with tera blast. Personally, I do...

You're using words like "fundamentally" while simultaneously imposing subjective value judgements over what "should" beat what. The reality of this generation is that Dragonite does beat a whole lot of pokemon, independent of whatever arbitrary distinctions you want to draw around what it ought...

I dont think this tera blast talk is it. Look at the prominent pokemon that use the move, as indicated from the usage stats. (Thanks finchinator for providing.) Are these pokemon meaningfully stronger b/c of tera blast specifically? Does the use of tera blast make them unreasonably dominant or...

Stop trying to make your balance teams LARP as full stall. You can’t and won’t switch-in to everything forever; sometimes offensive counter-play or more aggressive positioning is necessary. God forbid something causes the game to progress to a conclusion lol.

Junk post Tera blast is catching a lot of flak for what is a tera issue. Overwhelmingly, tera is used as a defensive tool for free turns, whether thats to get free setup, or make the ting/garg unkillable. This is the bed we've made with keeping tera. I'm not saying this is a bad thing, I think...
