    April 7* Raid: Samurott (Tera Bug)

    That's what I was thinking. Plus, before I made my post, I was looking around about it and people on Reddit were still posting about Friend Guard strats since at least a month ago. Been further thinking about Sunny Day Protosynthesis Scream Tail as a possible option since my last post and...

    April 7* Raid: Samurott (Tera Bug)

    Idk if you saw my calc on the other page, but I tested Grass Knot vs Cloyster and if you're max SpDef, Light Screen + Defense Cheer makes GK do pathetic damage lol, especially if you pair it with Leftovers + Aqua Ring. Just invest one Speed EV to always outspeed Samurott, since you're the same...

    April 7* Raid: Samurott (Tera Bug)

    A couple of things: 1. Jolly max Speed won't do you any good. A rule of thumb for Tera Raids is that if you're an offensive Pokemon that's naturally faster than the raid boss, invest in HP and an attacking stat. You'd have a set like this: Gyarados @ Sharp Beak / Shell Bell / Yache Berry...

    April 7* Raid: Samurott (Tera Bug)

    + + + Cheese String Man + the Cheesy Spirit Cats can get an OHKO vs Samurott w/ Steely Spirit + Steel Beam. Praying it doesn't have Drill Run.

    April 7* Raid: Samurott (Tera Bug)

    Something I noticed when combing through its potential moves is that it gets Knock Off. Imagine that being one of its "extra moves", and now no one in your party has an item to use anymore. Until we know it gets that, we may wanna consider theorymoning Pokemon that wouldn't be super-reliant on...

    April 7* Raid: Samurott (Tera Bug)

    Our next 7 star raid is Tera Bug Samurott, which lasts from March 31st - April 3rd, then again on April 7th - April 10th. This one looks tricky. Bug is weak to Fire, Rock, and Flying, but Samurott has ways to hit all of those types super effectively, whether it's Water STAB or Ice-type...

    March 7* Raid Event - Decidueye (Flying Tera)

    I could have been blessed by Lord Wooper, but the communication failed :psycry:

    March 7* Raid Event - Decidueye (Flying Tera)

    It only resists the Ghost STAB, and not Grass or Flying. Ursaring's a fun alternative to Iron Hands for the Blissey raids. Glad to see it getting some use.

    The last time I battled competitively was HGSS. What metagame changes since then would surprise me the most?

    Girafarig, Dunsparce, Primeape, and even fucking Bisharp got evolutions this gen. Primeape's, named "Annihilape", a Fighting / Ghost-type, got banned to Ubers, too.

    March 7* Raid Event - Decidueye (Flying Tera)

    I definitely wouldn't rule out the possibility of random special moves since its attacking stats are very similar. Wouldn't be surprised if it ended up using a mixed set with Spirit Shackle + whatever else (Leaf Blade, Energy Ball, Brave Bird, Hurricane being the big possibilities). Miraidon +...

    Iron Leaves and Walking Wake Raid Event Movesets

    Going on a rant, don't mind me. I'm on Scarlet, so I can't solo the Iron Leaves raids, so I try my luck with the random lobbies. It's been nearly a week. How? HOW?! How have so many people not only been unable to come up with a good set to use for this raid, but don't even understand the damn...

    Except it is true. Defog is a waste of a slot on Corviknight in the current meta when not only can it not touch Gholdengo, there are a myriad of better hazard removers in the tier that can. Great Tusk, Scizor itself, Hatterene (not a remover but a deterrent, and can threaten Gholdengo with...

    Metagame SV OU Metagame Discussion

    I'd say this is false. Defog is something Scizor does better than Corviknight due to Scizor's access to Technician Thief to actually threaten Gholdengo. Defog Corviknight can't do anything to the tier's Defog-blocker. 252+ Atk Technician Scizor Thief vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Gholdengo: 226-266 (71.7 -...

    After a day of playing, and this could change depending on developments, I personally think Walking Wake isn't broken. For it to dish out those massive damage rolls everyone keeps posting, it has to be under the effects of Sun, and even with the addition of Walking Wake which has boosted its...
