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. With all the dragons running around and having a good spread damage move with hyper voice, it's one of the solid mons to round out a team. This might not be the case anymore when paradox pokemon gets introduced to ranked.

@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.

For an offensive pick I think Arcanine is outclassed by several others picks as well.

Important note about Torkoal: Sun is SO good this generation because of Protosynthesis, the signature ability of past paradox pokemon. In strong sunlight, Protosynthesis boosts the highest stat by 1.3x (or 1.5x if it's speed). This bonus on a 570 BST Pokémon (which all paradox Pokémon are) is massive. Roaring moon gets a 180 atk stat! Fluttermane with 175 sp.a! While you can activate this ability with booster energy, having a choice item instead is huge.

Kinda surprised to not see Tera Electric suggested for Hydreigon - it's essentially the same thing Iono did with Mismagius, and I think there's enough enemy moveset variety that Tera Steel and Poison would probably still get hit by _something_ from the opposition. That and Tera Steel for defensive typing is getting thrown around a *lot* at the moment, so I think it'd be more expected. Edit: After reviewing the Hydreigon breakdown, is it because of Steel and Poison having more resistances than Electric? Edit 2: Kinda mentioned with Rotom but my point still stands for Hydreigon.

More resistances all the way babyyyy. Electric won't help it deal with fairies, it'll make it last longer but that's about it. Tera steel or poison, still.

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!

I'd argue Tera Flying is better for Tyranitar. It turns it's 4x fighting weakness into a resistance, but it also turns its 2x ground weakness into an immunity.

I have been having insane success with grass tera torkoal. You keep your eruption STAB, you GAIN solar beam stab (plus free sun,) and you resist everything fire was weak to. I think if anybody is going to defensively terastilize, it would be torkoal. He's even strong out of trick room and can even run lava plume with baxcalibur. There are so many options for this pokémon and he's genuinely my favorite in the metagame even if he isn't as used.

I'm surprised Dragonite wasn't on there. Tera Normal to get rid of its weakness combined with its Marvel Scale means you can usually get enough Dragon Dances off to make it scary. It also makes Extremespeed a STAB. Plus with Shed Tail being a thing it's possible to get a Dragonite behind a sub that gets the Marvel Scale boost, meaning it's super safe to go for DD set-up.

Crazy how much doubles differs from singles. In singles, only 13 returning Pokemon even made it to OU (Charizard was added later than the rest, and it'll most certainly drop down several tiers), and Tyranitar, Toxapex, and Amogus are likely to fall in January. That just leaves Dragonite, Garchomp, Breloom, Corviknight, Ditto, Dragapult, Grimmsnarl, Torkoal, Scizor, and Volcarona.

Regarding Arcanine. I am not really a competitive player, but during my play through I got a Growlithe with Ground Tera and Dig. Before the Elite 4 I went to change it’s Tera to Normal since it’s move pool at the time was Extreme Speed, Retaliate, Flamethrower and Dig(later changed to Play Rough I think). Any comments or criticisms to this? Found it to be not that bad at all. He is one of my strongest hitters along side Dragapult, Talonglame and Clawster

I was so sure we were going to see Murkrow on this list. I'm thinking this was written and recorded before it really showcased its utility in the metagame, specifically because there's no mention of how well pokemon are *currently* doing, but a lot of expectation, speculation, and prediction of how well these pokemon *will* do. Not saying it's a bad thing or even a criticism, just very interested to see how this list pans out 3 months, 6 months, or a year into the metagame.
