I'm already mentally preparing for Tera Xerneas in VGC 2025.

I'm thinking of using Mew because i have one lying around. Item could be colbur if deci brings knock. Just needs 20 speed to out speed fully invested +Spe base 60s like Deci-H. Bug is probably what I'm going with, but Poison could be better defensively depending on what deci brings. This is...

I'm having some issues with images in later posts, but I love the Grass-type run in this game: thank you for the inspiration! I think with Teal Mask in particular this generation is one of the best for Grass Types.

I'm trying to build with it for VGC and I agree that it's the most useful of the three although Munkidori has some fun tools. I'm just not sure how Fez comes together. It gets Tailwind--but it's pretty slow, doesn't have Prankster, and its susceptible to Fake Out and paralysis. It gets light...

I'm one of those people who actually liked everything getting Toxic, Knock Off, and Scald, though I get the feeling from the past 2 gens that Toxic will be more limited than it was in Gen7. I'm hopeful that they'll at least get "poisonous non-Poison-Types" like Umbreon, Whiscash, Dunsparce...

I haven't seen this come up a lot, but I think the raid designers are becoming more skilled at designing these raids to have a fairly narrow range of acceptable solutions. It's been a lot of fun to try to "solve" this raid, and see what other people come up with. I also think that Bug Mew...

This took a bit, but I settled on this Swords Dance Tera Bug Mew and caught Mewtwo after a few tries in random online raids. I still feel like it was less frustrating trying to catch Zapdos in an Ultra Ball in Yellow, but i think that's because the Switch has a backlit screen. Mew @ Bright...

I'm very pleased to see volcarona get the boot. It's been a thorn in everyone's side for team building purposes for ages, and I'm confident that the council will retest if metagame changes necessitate that. It's also great to see quick movement from the council to address issues related to the...

I'm still mildly upset that Galar was not more overtly inspired by Tristram Shandy, but I suppose I'm ready for A Sentimental Journey.

RW9 Force Majeure; I'll try both.

Protean is too good for Kecleon to be this unexplored. RW 8 Force Majeure

Just picked up BH this is way too fun. I haven't messed around with/ misty surge too much but one thing I noticed is that the extremely pivot-heavy meta makes lining up the SI to re-activate misty terrain somewhat difficult. Definitely down for anything that cuts the power of MMY though. Not...

RW7 Force Majeure. I'm newish to this meta so this is a fun proj. I want to document this really well. Poliwrath Abilities: Damp, Swift Swim, Water Absorb HP: 90 Attack: 95 Defense: 95 Sp Attack: 70 Sp Defense: 90 Speed: 70 EDIT 11/2: FIRST IMPRESSIONS. OFFENSIVE POLIWRATH: Poliwrath can...

Maybe. It's not on a strict schedule so updates happen when they happen.

It's not terrible. Typically if you're trying to get better at building it's best to take good teams and change them slightly to skew towards more relevant matchups like switching fly-z out for sd sr earth plate lando-t or reorganizing a full rain team (pel has damp rock, 2 SSers) to a more slim...

I'll admit that prima facie it doesn't seem too ridiculous to keep terrak in a tier where keldeo, starmie, gengar, and bisharp are hanging about. I'm pretty sure that at least some of the perception of terrak's brokenness is a manifestation of the matchup issue, which hasn't been as big of a...

I'm having a devil of a time trying to fit Pyukumuku on a team in this tier. How does this thing work without a pivoting move?

I don't feel like it's necessary for poliwrath to be ranked because it's niche is so specific that honestly it would probably cause confusion among the less experienced builders (like me honestly). There's a polite understanding in VRs that there are a few things that "Can Be Used I Guess" but...
