This was hella fun to watch you 2 play against eachother, that as fan who've been watching for years now this is like a unexpected crossover event that was great

[@CountofBleck]

Great fight! One minor question, what was the deciding factor of Wind Rider over competitive? Since killowattrels main goal is to set up tailwind and then just attack till it dies, the tailwind would make your thunderbolts more threatening, since competitive relies heavily on your opponent to activate.

[@Skele10bro]

Would a normal tera sylveon using tera blast still have pixelate to make it fairy as well as having the 2x normal stab? If that were the case, both hyper voice and tera blast would do incredible power.

[@mhx5071]

I don't know if it would work like that but wouldnt tera fairy still be better because you lose a little power (2x instead of 2.25) but have a way better defensive type

[@axis8396]

I think terra Fairy would be better in general cause Normal kind of makes some assumptions about when the multipliers are applied relative to Pixilate. From doing raids most people use Terra Fairy and Hyper Beam when low on time so I assume that's better than Terra Normal

[@justaliljello5198]

Tera normal wouldn't increase its power no

[@Musikmaker658]

@@axis8396in general" is not really going to work out for this gen of pokemon, I am afraid. This has gotten complex enough to make a case for next to every type consideration. Its almost like there are no wrong but few right choices and many decent ones when it comes to picking tera types. More so than in other games you need to be exactly sure what role your pokemon is going to fill in order to choose the right typing for any occasion is my take on this. Edit: I surmise that adaptability is about the most important thing for any team comp this generation around. Having many modi operandi and the ability to adjust to odd cases will determine what team comp and singular mons come out on top.

[@The_Pikaboi]

Nope but if you tera fairy youd get the 2x boost from hyper voice and tera blast

I gave my Orthworm body press, coil, iron tail, and protect. It's a little more of an odd moveset but coil does boost accuracy for iron tail, boots defense for body press, and boosts attack for both iron tail and body press. It's honestly not a terrible counter to Flutter Mane if you play right. Orthworm and Great Tusks as a combo are actually pretty nuts. They struggle with tanking special but they actually still put in mad work.
