That was beautiful. Gotta test Rising Voltage now.Hi so I would like to bring up the move Rising Voltage on electric terrain teams:View attachment 255485
It's actually extremely strong and gives a niche to raichu-alola in the ou tier in the current moment as with surge surfer provides great offensive pressure against more offensive teams. Also on specs analytic Magnezone it actually has no switchins as it 2hits Chansey upon switch-in. Overall with the single addition of this move it provides great versatility to electric-terrain teams.
View attachment 255486Hyperbeam may be weird but it magnezone really doesn't get any other moves worth it on the last slot. With hyperbeam you are able to essentially break most stalls with quagsire as their ground with a well timed attack. The other moves essentially create a situation where stalls and bulkier teams can't switch anything in to sponge the hit.Magnezone @ Choice Specs

Overall having fun with the new meta just wanted to shine a spotlight on electric terrain and its great move addition in rising voltage!
Also yikes what's the deal with that stall team your opponent had, fastest mon was Mandibuzz. I like stall but that was too much.
