This may not be the thread for this kind of thing, but there is a move called Revival Blessing, it does have 1 pp, granted, but it can revive a mon at 50% health. Imagine you run Rabsca(the only mon that learns it) with a Focus Sash, maybe some support moves, i may make a set with this idea in mind, I am not a professional, but it could be a really strong gimmick mon

Is there an estimate for when we get lower tiers?

Pawmot learns it as well. And this move will indeed be very strong and probably quickbanned like a day in, so get ready to use it while you can.

Does Revival Blessing work on your Gholdengo?

Sorry in advance if it has already been asked. If I equip Black Sludge to a Poison type and terastallizes it to another type, will it take damage from the item?

I have tested this and on the simulator Ditto does copy the damage of Rage Fist as well. I calculated and compared the damage and it's just the same damage that regular Annihilape would do

Thanks for testing, although it sounds unfair

No, the legendary ruin ability is a different type of debuff

Is there a spot on this site for posting and watching replays?

There is the replays section on the site https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/
You can't really post replays tho, they get saved when you save them by clicking to "upload and share replay" and you can view other people's replays. You can search on the forums tho for people that posted his replays for Tournaments, or also go and check some Replays Threads / Sheets as some people make them for tours.

A little broad but if you want to see what's popular or what teams are being used in Gen 9 OU I would recommend looking at the SV OU No Johns Release Tournament thread where Replays are being posted, here's the links for Round 2: B, D, A, C

Give it a few hours to a day. The stats usually go up by then and afaik, there has only been one time where it took a few days before the stats were up last gen

Is Chilly Reception viable on a non snow team solely to take advantage of the Teleport-esque-ness of Slowking a la Gen 8? Hail doesn't seem as hindering as the others, and just removing the opponents weather seems like a bonus.

Yes

Couldn't find the answer anywhere else, but will charizard and other unreleased pokemon released through raids be allowed into the metagame by raids or the Pokemon home release?

They probably will be. Charizard is a late arrival for these events but if it's Legally obtainable within the game I don't see why it wouldn't be considered (relevant or not), since we also allowed Mythicals and old events in previous gens that were objectively more limited in being obtained even if they were theoretically possible in said old games.

What is the best nature for charizard in SV? Timid or jolly?

Timid, Charizard is generally a special attacker.
