I'm trying to check my win-lost record on showdown but it's not showing me total games. Have any idea on what can be done?

Yes, a retest it's likely a retest could be on the table when home comes out.

I don't really remember it well but how did the "No scald ladder" go for Gen 6?

I have seen few run life orb but most common I have seen is probably boots.

The recoil of life orb has a major trade off due to recoil which is even worse in meta with priority and hazard stacking(if you say "just remove the hazards" it is harder in practice in this meta") even some mons weak to stealth rocks use boots rather than an item that increases any offensive attack

Magnezone isn't really an issue in the first place, since it's biggest draw is trapping steels. The only largely used steel in ou that is can trap is Corv, the other steels it can trap are more niche, so Magnezone isn't popular enough for it to be a big issue for Corv.

The possibility of terra steel was to resist giga drain so after a taut Amoonguss couldn't do anything Palafin which would lead to free set up, of course water was still prevalent but steel was another possibility

Clodsire lost to bulk up Palafin anyway, for an example of how Palafin befitted from terra, Amoongus could be a good matchup against Palafin so they started to run terra steel, this came at a cost of losing out on the offensive befits of terra water but you now beat one of few the checks to Palafin.

Unaware doesn't always stop Espathra since Stored power blows most mons with that ability due to the high base power of the move although Skeledirge could be ok and maybe Dondozo

If you are referring to the example I made with IV vs RM, IV could have gone for Moonblast which RM could not stay in on. And I'm not saying countering terra is impossible but it restricts what is viable and counter play is limited (can you give more examples on how to counter terra without...

The move is nothing special and most mons have better moves for terra stab or they just terra for a defensive befit

It's a manner of how terra reduces overall counter, it's not a matter of what the type will be since mons already have preferred types by this point it's more so when and which. Anyone can flip a match up on it's head to gain a major advantage so the best way to handle this is in the team...

Abusing the mechanic to check another mon abusing the same mechanic does not make it balanced or healthy. Having to do so shows how oppressive it is and the lack of counter play. On a different note I would like to make nothing wants to run life orb anymore, the recoil has become undesired due...
