Best Tera for Arcanine I’ve found useful so far is Tera Grass. The immunity to Spore and Rage Powder, as well as resisting incoming Earthquakes and Jet Punches helps it out defensively. I don’t think I’d opt to run any Offensive sets with it as I’ve had way more success with it on a support set.

[@roryharmer5148]

I love how terastilization has added so much unique strategic dynamics to this gen & how it helps pokemon with x4 weaknesses become more viable

[@EinDose]

I genuinely think terastallization is the best 'escalation mechanic' they've ever had. Mega-evos, Z-moves and dynamaxing were neat but ultimately amounted to either helping Pokemon that didn't need it or making Pokemon do their usual thing but harder. Tera types can do that second one if you REALLY want, but the best part is that it has the capacity to give ANY Pokemon a surprising trump card. Murkrow can use it just as well as Garchomp, and I think that's way more interesting.

Sylveon at least needs to get a honorable mention. While not as versatile as the other mons on the list. It is one of the best fairy type attacker in the early meta.

I'll assume this is recorded quite a while ago as well, but I think there's a few corrections I would personally make. (Take it with a grain of salt) - Hydreigon and Garchomp are definitely higher on the list. Hydreigon has very good versatility in terms of offensive power (strongest Draco Meteor in the game), good support moves (Tailwind), and good Tera types, while Garchomp is just incredibly strong. - Arcanine I thought would be one of the best, but everything that it wants to Intimidate is basically holding a Clear Amulet, which really hinders its viability. - Gyarados is also hindered by Clear Amulet, but to an lesser extent. Still feels underwhelming though, it doesn't have enough power to back it up (Waterfall and Bounce is not the STAB moves you really wish for as an attacker, making it very reliant on Tera for damage output) - Indeedee-F is kinda just OP, especially with the Trick Room stuff. The grind you are on is insane though! A video every two days is crazy. Keep up the great work!

Props to the editor for picking bangers. Good taste

[@TheUziGunner]

Thank you very much! I love choosing bangers from games I played and enjoyed. And they fit Wolfey's video to the T, so I went with em! Glad you like em

I loved the additional editing of the small bloopers lol

0:54 The lack of dynamax hits me like this sometimes - at one point I was like "ah I can just set up terrain again... oh."

After playing the ladder to master rank, the returning pokemon that see heavy play (that weren't on this list): Murkrow - Prankster Tailwind & Haze (for Dondozo & Tatsugiri) + Stab foul play, with a wide array of supporting options. - Honorable mention Talonflame for similar reasons Sylveon - Heavily punishes all the dragon and dark types out there with Pixilate Hyper Voice. Indeedee - Helps guarantee trick room & block priority attacks Dragonite - Tera Normal extreme speed (choice band optional)

the "don't" caught me off guard :D Well played

[@omermilo4871]

My friend built a team using a tera fire torkoal with eruption and choice specs, and a tera dark oranguru with trick room and instruct. The setup works quite a lot, and it's a beautiful sight to be seen every single time he uses double eruption tera fire choice specs in the sun.

Beats Cybertron one time and goes from "World champ" to "Absolutely the best, no questions" lmao. Love it 🤣

Grimmsnarl with priority misty terrain is the unsung upgrade to my fairy boi

[@tuckrtjackson5893]

Tera Fairy is also good for Garchomp it being super effective against Fairy’s weakness and makes its dragon typing an immunity. Tera Blast can be used on it as well

Even though this list is very outdated it is still nice to see just how fast things have changed within a month.

Grimmsnarl is one of my favorites in the game. He has so many options for almost every situation. His shiny is awesome too. I like running Parting shot, Fake Out, Spirit Break, and the fourth slot can be whatever or exchanged with the other moves depending. ( Light screen, reflect, Taunt, T-wave, Sucker punch, Scary Face etc)..Really great Pokemon.
