Most common set for it is either hdb or specs both normally would run freeze dry, flip turn, hydro pump, but hdb can run taunt, agility, and while both also like ice beam. Specs prefer ice beam for last
How is this STUPID IRON BIRD in the highest tiers for so long?
And also this pink winged abomination, called a "Clefable"

Thank you for the reply! What Tera would be best to run? And would moves like electric terrain, Tera blast, or aurora veil have any merit?
Is Foul Play boosted by the user’s Dark Tera?
terra water is nice for additional pump damage, the other moves not really since freeze dry + pump is already unresisted coverage, as you hardly will be able to setup terrain or veil
Did early usage stats get posted somewhere? I saw some people talking about them in the ou discussion thread
Probably January as we need a full month and so much is still being determine in the meantime
Does the ability Unaware ignore the Atk/SpA boost by Protosynthesis/Quark Drive?
On the sim no, Unaware doesn't ignore those boosts
A question about how rage fist works. Does it boost in power everytime your're hit, or every time you take dmg? Bc I fought an Annihilape with hippowdon, didn't hit it once, and yet it still one shot me at +3 with rage fist (Here's the replay, turn 13 is the kill https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9ou-1720602495).
What was your Hippowdon spread? I want to plug this into a Calculator and make sure I'm accurate.
+3 252 Atk Annihilape Rage Fist (150 BP) vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Hippowdon: 486-573 (115.7 - 136.4%) -- guaranteed OHKO
I've had the theory that Rage Fist increments when Annihilape is hit by a move rather than specifically taking damage (so any move that connects without an Accuracy Check or Immunity failure), which would align with the 150 BP necessary for this OHKO since you hit him with 2 Yawns before the KO turn. Whether this is how it works in-game it might be how it's set up on Showdown, though he obviously took damage 2+ times from Rocks and Sandstorm before then too.
Standard, 252 HP 252+ SpDef

Yes, on the sim Toedscruel is able to Spore it
How do you counter Maushold?
I was playing a low ladder game with an Avalugg team. My opponent got to setup a Tidy Up with Maushold, they Terastallized into Normal-type and then proceeded to almost destroy my team. I thought a 252 HP / 252+ Def Avalugg would be able to counter that Pokemon, but then the following interaction happened.
The pokemon with the HIGHEST defense currently available in OU got one shotted by a Maushold. How are you guys dealing with Maushold? Are you just meant to revenge kill it with priority for the time being?

generally the biggest things with maushold are it's frailty and its intense weakness to contact punishers
there's no viable flame body user as of rn but stuff like helmet corvi and helmet chomp catch it clicking population bomb and murder it
you can slap a helmet on your avalugg if you're weak to maushold
also since it's pretty frail and 115 isn't super fast this metagame you can attack it as it sets up
Ability Patches are a 1% drop from 6-star raids.
So we no longer have to breed someone with the HA to pass it down? I'm way behind in the meta, as well as from the past gen. I can give an Ability Patch to my mon and I can choose the HA then?
