I don't know how to feel about Suicraptor. Sun gets a day in the... uh sun, but brokens gonna broken and bulky/fast/hard hitting dragon water sounds busted on paper (but ghold is even more busted on paper and in practice is a lot less unmanageable than you would thibk) Nothing says "Not a...

Compendium of slightly dogwater set's I've come up with: :Girafarig: Girafarig @ Eviolite Ability: Early Bird Tera Type: Rock EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Timid Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Thunder Wave - Rest - Foul Play - Tera Blast :Pupitar: Pupitar @ Eviolite Ability: Shed Skin Tera Type...

Bombirdier guy got me. Might as well make the most of Hone Claws' accuracy boost :Bombirdier: Bombirdier @ Loaded Dice Ability: Rocky Payload Tera Type: Rock EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Jolly Nature - Rock Blast - Knock Off - Dual Wingbeat - Hone Claws :Glaceon: Glaceon @...

A broken omnipresent mechanic you're forced into because the player base likes it? Never heard of that before. (disclaimer: this is a joke) In actual seriousness there's an issue with voting on Tera: it's far less broken in lower tiers but OU's rules affect them so there's an incentive for...

Yes. They're inherently broken: they give too much an advantage for one turn of setup, are too widely distributed compared to removal, and don't have the drawbacks that spikes, toxic spikes, and sticky webs do. If you want a balanced version they either need to wear off after 5-8 turns or get...

There is extra pressure on teambuilding when using these mons that others would not require. They may not be held back but their teams are. That's the problem - rocks is something cores and teams need to be built around which is quite nutty: the mechanic warps entire tiers and was something...

Some of the frozen friends are looking kinda thick with the snowscape buff, especially potentially behind a veil and/or wearing a vest. The forbidden eevee even looks kinda funny.

The easiest way to illustrate how gamewarping Stealth Rock is is to imagine the history of the game if it was a different type than rock. Stealth Ice? Suddenly dragons are barely viable and every dragon analysis of every generation has to start with their crippling weakness. It's quite simple...

You could always use Hyper Voice Throat Spray since Illusion can give you an extra turn.

Cetitan seems like a good vest candidate as its monstrous HP stat means you don't really need to invest in it letting you be specially fat while having priority and sheer force on your other attacks, similar to Copperajah's usage. :Cetitan: Cetitan @ Assault Vest Ability: Sheer Force Tera...

:Mabosstiff: If you're willing to use your tera on the dawg dragon gives you a high bp attack in outrage and decent resists :Ursaring: Very eviolite bulky, very strong. Guts means you absorb glare and will-o-wisp. Tera ghost blocks the common close combats sent your way and gives you Stab on...

Today in Evil mons: :Sawsbuck: Sawsbuck @ Loaded Dice Ability: Serene Grace Tera Type: Grass/Fire/Electric EVs: 208 HP / 252 Atk / 48 Spe Adamant Nature - Trailblaze - Bullet Seed - Body Slam - Zen Headbutt/Stomping Tantrum/Tera Blast/Headbutt/etc. You outspeed most everything after a...

:Raichu: Raichu @ Choice Band Ability: Lightning Rod Tera Type: Electric EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Hasty Nature - Nuzzle - Volt Tackle - Volt Switch - Quick Attack / Play Rough Tera-Technician heavily boosts Nuzzle turning it into a very spammable move (2hko's 248hp/0def...

The technician part of tera seems like it could be useful with trailblaze (as a native grass type) as you boost it to 60x2 which seems quite spammable There aren't many possible abusers of this, though. The best are cacturne, gogoat, and flapple and that's not a great selling point. Tera...

:Flapple: Flapple @ Sitrus Berry Ability: Ripen Tera Type: Flying EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Jolly Nature - Dragon Dance - Grav Apple - Acrobatics - Outrage 70/80/60 is enough to live most unboosted neutral hits to low yellow/red (usually allowing 1 safe dragon dance) after...

You really shouldn't be running black sludge on a mon who is going to terra into a non-poison type

:Toxtricity: :Sylveon: Could there be a niche for Sylveon? Comparing it in purpose to Toxtricity seems appropriate, as a 200BP Fairy attack (that also triggers throat spray) seems like it would compare reasonably to Tox's boomburst. On a specs set you're essentially just trading 15bst of speed...

:Mabosstiff: Murder Dog (Mabosstiff) @ Choice Band/Assault Vest Ability: Stakeout Tera Type: Dark/Dragon EVs: 136 HP / 252 Atk / 8 SpD / 112 Spe Adamant Nature - Crunch - Play Rough - Psychic Fangs - Outrage/Trailblaze You hit as hard as possible, outspeed base 110's after sticky...

:Hariyama: Hariyama @ Flame Orb Ability:Guts Tera Type: Steel Adamant Nature - Bullet Punch - Belly Drum :Heracross: Heracross really enjoys access to trailblaze which gives it access to a scarfed speed tier with the ability to change moves, at +1/+1 You hit really hard while leaving things...

-Gardevoir is an actual threat offesively and defensively (esp tera ghost) as you rain hard on Lycanroc and Toxtricity's parades -Tera and or ghosts are really important for the tier (Avalugg/Mudsdale Body Press, Lycanrock/Heracross Close Combat, Toxtricity Boomburst, Teracross Facade) which...
