It would appear that a new bulky Volcarona set has emerged based on this last SPL week.
I'm talking about the Morning Sun / Will-o / Fiery Dance / Quiver Dance set.

What kind of EV's would that kind of Volcarona run?
 
if he's banned, r there any plans to free our favorite sabertooth weasel back into the OU meta once the home update rolls around? Any idea whether or not both zama forms, or only hero/crowned, will drop into the tier?

This set was already the default for this generation
Volcarona @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Flame Body
Tera Type: Grass
EVs: 248 HP / 108 Def / 152 Spe
Timid Nature
- Quiver Dance
- Morning Sun
- Fiery Dance
- Giga Drain / Will-o-Wisp

108 Defence prevents Volcarona from being OHKOd by Booster Energy Great Tusk, CB Dragapult (although it doesn't do much back) and CB Chien-Pao's Sucker Punch and generally just decreases damage from Cinderace and Kingambit. It has enough Speed to outspeed everything in the tier unboosted at +1.

Chien-Pao isn't banned. It never has been. For Zamazenta, I can't really say as I'm not council. Although it has been freed in National Dex, I don't see it staying. With here, I'd say the same, even with the addition of Home releases.

I barely know what I’m eating for dinner tonight, so not gonna say anything definitive here. But we will try to be more inclusive than not with home!

Hello there,

I'm new around here. I just got into smogon and the competitive world, just trying some sets and try to understand how to build a team.
I'm currently playing with my friends on switch too and we are trying to make teams only with new mons from 9G.

Does anyone could help me to make a decent team with this restriction please?:blobthinking:

-I can use any new pokemon from this generation (so no Dragonite, Hydreigon, motisma..ect)
-No Miraidon/Koraidon allowed
- I can use "banned" pokemon thou, like Annihilape , Chi-Yu, Cyclizar...

What would be your advices? what team would you make?

Thank you.
This isn't the forum for these kinds of things. For in-game help / info check the Orange Islands subforum; the OU subforum is for competitive discussion only, competitive discussion of SV OU.
 
The signature abilities of the Treasures of Ruin quartet (Wo-Chien, Chien-Pao, Ting-Lu, and Chi-Yu) bypass Unaware right?
 
Can the Ruin abilities be swapped/suppressed on the user? After using a Skill Swap Victini entry last gen for a "Lure that Threat" entry that I played with briefly, "Ability changing" as a lure gimmick is something I'd kind of like to muck around with, and effectively stealing bulk from Ting-Lu like that sounds hilarious.
 
How does the protean+tera stabs combo work? I know that after tera you can't change your type anymore, but I'm curious about how the game counts the stab bonus when you tera.
Example: you change your type to a different one from your initial stabs and then tera to one of your initial types. The game counts the stab type you had when you use tera+ the tera one or counts the initial stabs + the tera one?
 
How does Salt Cure interact with type changes? If you cure a Steel type and it changes type, does it still lose 1/4 of its health or does it change to 1/8? Or vice versa from non-steel/water to steel/water?

If you are a water that Terras or protean type changes into say fairy, you are now treated as fully fairy so it changes to 1/8th. This also true if you turn into a water, you will take 1/4 instead of 1/8.
