Dude I've been cooking up something very similar to this and I'm stoked that someone figured it out. I had the same thought! "Excadrill just counters Raging Bolt and hits most common Reg F pokemon for super effective damage. Why not put tera stellar on it and sweep?" so sick. One of my favorite archetypes ever and even though it's low power right now I love seeing it succeed in some way.

@jonming6676 5 ай бұрын

I was so happy when raging bolt first came into the format. Perfect counter to water urshifu that was a menace since HOME. Now Raging Bolt has become such a bulky nuisance, it’s good to see cool niche teams like this to counter it. And the timing for this team is perfect since Articuno was resurrected in the snow.

QOTD: Dedenne is always my go-to mon, it's been my favorite since XY. Nuzzle/Electroweb are great for speed control, and it can be surprisingly tanky with Sitrus Berry/Cheek Pouch. My opponents tend to target around it since they don't see it as a threat, so it can stick around on the field for awhile.

Quick note: The paste in the description has a Wiki Berry, which confuses if it's a minus SpA nature, which the Corviknight seems to be, so I'm not sure that's particularly ideal? Also, the Okidogi is Tera Poison instead of Flying

QOTD: It’s not THAT underrated, but I think Gouging Fire is really good with the howl set. Of course, it struggles because you have to choose between Booster Energy and losing to Incineroar or Clear Amulet and losing to Lando, but with a few howls, your team can go off. I also think Primerina is pretty underrated, because it can deal water damage ignoring Ogerpon’s follow me, and has a good matchup into both Urshifu forms, but it is a hard life out there when the most popular Pokémon is grass and your fairy competition is Flutter Mane.

Sorry if I missed this being explained, but did the team creator explain why Poison was the Tera type chosen for the Amoongus? I tried translating the team report and all I saw was something along the lines of "you should probably change this Tera type"

@Endershock1678 5 ай бұрын

I speak Japanese, he doesn’t mention on the team report (or at least in the Amoongus section) why he chose Tera poison, and he said he thinks a different Tera type would be better. He also said he uses it mostly for the TatsuDozo matchup, which makes the Tera choice even more confusing tbh

@mcl_official20XX 5 ай бұрын

@Endershock1678 I interpreted it mostly as "yeah I just didn't bother to give it a good Tera lol" which is understandable if it was just meant to be a quickly thrown together fun team for the Global Challenge.
