One of my favorite archetypes ever and even though it's low power right now I love seeing it succeed in some way.

I was so happy when raging bolt first came into the format. Perfect counter to water urshifu that was a menace since HOME.

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.

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
