Anyone got any good ways to use Iron Treads outside of the lead slot? I know some players use Assault Vest as a check to Raging Bolt, but I would like to know if there are other options (or at least different EVs/Tera types to plug into the AV set)

Though I am not an expert on iron treads, there is a booster attack set that can be quite devestating if the opponent is unprepared. You can use the usual moves on it, but supercell slam, iron head and knock off are good alternatives if you have something else with rocks on it. The EVs can either be adamant to get the boost with the most power or 180+ speed EVs if you want to maximise speed while still getting the attack boost. Tera types are of course up to your choosing, though tera ground is great to boost the power of e-quake (like excadrill does).
How do I get rid of this black overlay, and go back to the old layout where switching and attacking is on one pane?
Means you're too zoomed in/the resolution is too low I believe, so just zoom out.
Typically whenever I log out I make sure I double check my avatar. But if I’m on the same alt, it’s never an issue. Hope this helps!
Im running a stored power necrozma that I think will be pretty cool. (for SVOU Using Necro becuase its decent base SpAtk)
Heres the set:
Necrozma @ Leftovers
Ability: Prism Armor
Tera Type: Steel ( best defensive type for Necro?)
EVs: 252 HP
- Stored Power
- Calm Mind
- Iron Defense
- Photon Geyser
I know I want to run max Hp because Necro needs bulk to set up Cm and Idef (btw calm mind and idef is the same thing double dance manapht runs just different names). I dont know how much speed to put in and how much def or spdef. Double dance manaphy hits 260 speed, but Necro isnt capable of that so im not sure were he should be hitting. TY!

Why Photon Geyser, since it shares typing with Stored Power?
because i might not be able to set up enough to use stored and PG is instant pressure to a fighting type or whatever. Any opinion on the speed?
Is there a common Hatterene set that works for balance or bulky offense? On a team that doesa lot of switching, preferably. I don't want to use Calm Mind, but I'd really like to take advantage of Nuzzle.
And I'm loving Assault Vest Crown but is there another set that could be used on balanced, if another special sponge is on the team? Crown offers much utility, like sniping Glim and being a steel type, but I'm not sure if it's redundant.

Although its not a "set" that tons of people use or is an established thing, you could just dump all of the stats for crown into SpAtk and HP and run an item like specs if you want to do that on a balance (as a breaker). Also, if you dont need another SpDef mon, there are better options to use as a steel type breakers if you are willing to give up special bulk and become a bit more offensive, like ghold, or gambit, who both still have a bit of bulk.
Is Kleavor viable in gen 9 OU? I feel like it's pretty useful because it has stone axe and Sharpness.
Unfortunately no, kleavor isn't really viable. Bug+Rock typing isn't really the best defensively, as it only resist normal and poison, one of which is a really uncommon offensive typing (the one mon that uses normal moves usually blows through even bulky resists) and the other is decently uncommon. Offensively it isn't much better, so its typing is overall meh. It's weak to stealth rocks, which means it requires HDB and its defenses are alright I guess. It's speed is alright, but not great. Stone axe isn't actually as useful as you would think, as unlike ceaseless edge, it isn't as spammable due to rocks only being one layer. It's completely walled by great tusk (unless you run dual wingbeat, a bad move, and even then that's a 3hit ko) and mons like zamazenta, gliscor and corviknight just can start setting up on it (two of those you don't want to give free turns).
Kleavor isn't the worst thing in the worst thing in the world, it may have a tiny niche in the tier, but I wouldn't recommend it on any serious team. If you want to use a bug type in OU, use its other evo scizor. Scizor is viable in OU for sure.
How do you know if your account is eligible to earn certain badges immediately? Is there a list of all badges and the requirements to get them?
I would like to create a thread on policy review. How could I request access to do so or request for someone to post it on my behalf?
And if you don’t want to add to a thread and instead post a new one, just note so explicitly in the submission
How will I know if it's been accepted or rejected as a post? If it's been rejected, it would be fair to understand why. Atm, it just seems like it's been to sent to a void.
I sent to staff last night, and they’ll decide.
I mean yeah, technically, but Gravity is very niche and doesn't last very long. Trick Room is the most powerful of the move field conditions and even then it struggles to be viable due to how little it lasts. If you were to make a Gravity team, I would make it not the core focus of the team, like maybe just a specific Gravity core. And ground spam is usually the motive for using Gravity rather than mostly accurate moves like Triple Axel.
Is there any way I can make a viable team without pokemon with unfinished sprites? Those are Pokemon like Glimmora, Iron Valiant, etc.
