i love you

Wolfe, if you somehow see this, is it possible to put the spreadsheet in the description or something. Love your content.

@@Subspace79 it’s on the member discord

@@cyberknife69. 💀

finally, an ad that appeals to me lol

Ground is top-tier. Dark is "WTF?" tier.

@@bigfootapologetics Fits Dark as the Evil type (JP name)

@@gustavju4686 I didn't even realize it was a face until now! I thought it was a squiggle.

Bug is middle of the pack but so cute

@@danielorlovaquinn yes

So TF 2

This.

Would've been so based if he just punked us and ranked how the hats looked.

RankeGlick?

rankes

its still good but not for terastalizing

rip psychic

What dark and steel types do to mf

Psychic only was good for his weakness not having good moves and one being bugged, having good moves which was rare and good Pokemon none of that is a strength of the type itself.

@@letmecommentstupidyoutube1338 that ghost type glitch doesn't matter cause there were practically no ghost type moves in gen 1. Also psychic type has great strength in gen 1 on its own,it's resisting other psychics,and having spammable STAB.

69th like :3

"Having four resistances to fire, water, steel, and ice is also really nice"

​@@maxspecs This but unironically

Also ghost being immune to fake out (which is probably the best move in vgc)

Aren't electric types immune to paralysis now? Some fast attackers would like that too

@@istokipsy6289 NOOOOOOO!!!! SHUT UP YOU MONLEY GRRRR 😭😭😭😡😡😡🤬🤬🤬

​@@istokipsy6289Yes,also dark types being inmune to prankster,very good with psychic support pokemons that hate taunt

I won't lie, with abilities like Corrosion existing I'd love to see other abilities that work like it but for different statuses. Burning a fire type, paralyzing a electric type without body slam or something like that... Just think of the possibility.

@@ValunarTonix Electric Pokémon have been fully immune to paralysis since gen 6, so it would need an ability to work.

@@ValunarTonix Would prefer if that didnt happen. Otherwise a lot of types lose their unique advantages.

I imagine because those things probably didn't make a huge difference when trying to determine the overall best tera type for each Pokemon. They are things to consider when team building but Wolfe's philosophy seems to be that tera is best used to boost your bulk or coverage

@@Kvh47if it was on like one or two Pokémon, that would be pretty neat without breaking the meta

Agreed, I think those two you mentioned are critical, especially Fire. Will o Wisp is so ubiquitous that a physical attacker being immune to burn is terrifying

All right, because based on the description he gave, it just sounded like the regular type matchups with extra steps. I guess ranking them based on their additional bonuses is what he's doing.

idk how prominent poison will be since toxic has been mostly removed and toxic spikes are more common, but poison definitely would have been a much better defensive tera type due to toxic immunity in past gens

@@recreationtime toxic is still in the game

@King Hershey The Second yeah but 90% of pokemon don't have access to it anymore

Tbh what I find really interesting about it is that Gamefreak actually managed to nail one of these gimmick-mechanics. Every other gimmick they’ve tried introducing seems to have had a negative effect on competitive in some way (while also being pointless in singleplayer, except Dynamax which was so OP as to be required in singleplayer :y ), but this actually provides an extra layer of depth without going overboard. Like, even in the main story, where I was consistently overleveled and Terastalizing didn’t matter much, I was still going out of my way to get shards because changing my team’s Tera types was a really appealing idea. Changing Armarouge to Fighting to give it resistance to Dark, for instance, and powering up Aura Sphere. Granted, that’s probably not super optimal, but I gave it some thought and made the decision myself based on proper strategizing and theory-crafting, which is something I never really felt about Mega Evos or Dynamaxing.

@@SkyBlueFox1 1) Dynamax was never mandatory except on multiplayer. 2) Terastylize has less strategic layers than Dynamax simply because of secondary effects from Max moves. 3) NO ONE is going out their way to change their tera types while doing the story except recatching. It takes 50 fucking shards to do so. So all Terastylize turns out to be is just Adaptability while playing through the game. Thats why you feel like you dont need it. Please dont spread misinformation.

I really wish it was cheaper to change the type with shards

When you counter the counter to the counter of the counter meta pick (you chose tera fire to counter their tera ice that would counter your tera flying that could counter the meta tera grass skeledirge)

@@JayceCH. you seem to have missunderstood a few things, lemme help ya: 1) person was not making a litteral claim about it being impossible to beat without, rather that it'd be much harder. This ought to be understood through context 2) saying "terra types provide an extra layer of depth without going overboard" is not at all the same thing as saying "terra types add more gameplay depth than all previous generational gimmics, including dynamax", in fact it implies quite the opposite, that terra types provide less depth than certain previous gimmics, thus hitting some kind of sweet spot. 3) the person who posted originally was refering to their own, personal experience of the game, which will obviously differ from the experience others have with it. You cannot respond to someone saying "i did X thing" with "nobody ever does X thing".

It's also one of only 7 types that has no way of mitigating it through immunity or absorbtion (including, surprisingly, bug). That's part of the reason why it was so devastating in Dynamax: you always got the speed boost unless they Max Guarded (steel enjoyed the same benefit).

@@TheNewRobotMaster I know right? Jointly, it is also resisted by the fewest things , without being totally walled. Only 3 things resist it, and while some like Ghost and Dragon are only resisted by 2, one of them completely walls it.

If you switch out and back in you don't hit entry hazards right?

@@pug8714 Exactly. Flying types are unaffected by all entry hazards and terrains, except Stealth Rocks.

Kilowattrel can use tera flying with volt absorb to give it 2x stab on it while still having volt absorb

Keep in mind that this was based on how often among the 400 (or however many Pokemon are legal and viable, which Tera probably widens more than most are thinking) a given Tera Type appeared as their "best" in Wolfey's, and possibly his team's, opinion. Make a list for only the "best" Pokemon in competitive play and you'll likely get something very different. Never mind that this Mechanic especially has a lot of potential for an ever evolving meta game as Pokemon drift in and out based on how well they counter or are countered by specific Mon and Tera combinations. Who knows. Hydreigon might best use Steel right now, but a Fire Lycanroc (random example) might emerge as a counter versus the over abundance of Tera Steel in general. Which is then countered by a Tera Ground Whiscash that wasn't really viable before due to Earthquake missing that levitating annoyance and Grass being common in general (100% Crit Meowscarada signature move) before being pushed out by the new Fire threats. Point is: This list is not representative of the current or future meta of competitive play. Just an exercise in statistical analysis.

@@nestrior7733 I know. I’m just making a joke.

I thought I was the only one who notice

1) since these types are consider worse type, it is good to use type that ppl rarely use to let opponent to make assumption on the terratype but ended up using another terra type 2) this video did not include unique move or improveing move pool as each pokemon have its nitch from their ability and move pool

best tera type is electro if its on shedninja and this shedninja has ballon as item

@@Engifarting456 which is a good thing it doesn't exist in scarlet and violet

Piss.

I can't wait. Most of the best mons in this meta have access to good fighting moves. When I see tera steel, I know I'm probably going to win the match

honestly, sweeping teams w/ steel tera ddance RM has been so fun (in singles anything goes, not ladder)

Woah that hydreigon set sounds super fun

@@ryanmahon2956 i almost always use choice scarf on hydreigon but it would be interesting to try. I wish they gave him sludge bomb tho

Cool. Go spread this on a singles channel.

I'm getting a bit tired of people treating double battles and VGC as one unit. I'm sure Tera is also done differently in DOU.

Honestly i prefer Tera Fairy for Slowbro, but Poison Tera doesnt sounds bad.

I still enjoy his content a lot and Wolfey's work ethic is admirable but I feel like the quantity lately has resulted in an unusually high amount of flaws in the recent videos. The games are very fresh and some mistakes are bound to happen but it's been more noticeable if you ask me.

what part of dmax is strat vs power. imo even dmax was not the best

Does this entail just Pokémon and Tera types? Or does it mean everything; items, abilities, movesets, etc.?

@@aatishkarthik5645 Dynamax was incredibly flexible therefore gave a lot of skill expression around who to dynamax and when the right time was. The man we're watching made a whole video talking about how great it was for competitive.

@@aatishkarthik5645 For doubles it was. I can see why a singles player might hate it. But VGC is doubles remember. GMax was strat based because you needed to account for which pokemon might go for it, when they might go for it. DMax or GMax too soon, and you're playing into their hands, leaving yourself open, and mostly praying you can survive. Do it too late, and it's the same boat. Whereas with Mega Evolution was just a mess. Already OP Pokemon gained EVEN MORE power, and team pools became extremely narrow. There weren't enough viable pokemon to be varied. Every team was the same. Which doesn't make competitive very fun.

Wait does that mean your tera types are revealed? I think thats honestly worse for strategy. Its like showing your moves in team preview. Who ever said surprise isn't strategy, not knowing what your opponent may do and predicting it appropriately is the pinnacle of strategy. Knowing all of your opponents terra-types beforehand kills a lot of that. It takes out a lot of surprise factor and prediction and makes it more about brute forcing your way through. (Edit: I just found out this also includes moves, abilities, and items being shown before the battle. Holy crap tournament play sounds so unfun to me. Knowing the exact set your opponents are running feels so absurdly wrong. I feel like you should be rewarded for being intelligent and experienced enough to know the possible sets your opponent has.)

Since when does rock resist rock?

@@druen2099 it doesn't lol. unfortunately there is no type that resists both fire and rock. wolfey says the best tera type for frosmoth is water, since you resist the 4x fire weakness and shed the 4x rock weakness, and water is a better defensive type than rock outside of that. You could maybe argue that tera blast gives you better offensive coverage with rock compared to water, but frosmoth would probably rather stay alive longer to get up quiver dance and doesn't have much room for coverage moves anyway

@@patrickchickey6428 what about electric though? That has 1 weakness, resists flying and steel which is a problem for it so it has defensive utility for it, is neutral to the others, and ice/electric is fantastic coverage. and ofc after 1 quiver you probably can just ice beam any stupid ground type thinking it's able to hit your only weakness while also ending water types who absolutely hard wall this thing otherwise

Great, now let's look at frosmoth's stats

@@RockHoward256 i mean... with a good quiver dance it can kill most ground types. ground mons aren't all that fast for the most part that they'd outspeed +1. ground is great too though i think. ground and electric are both really great i think for it.

chrissake, talk about overkill

I don't see how it would be that high since multipliers are always on the original base number.

@@NotGord Still, Stab + Tera + Sun + Charcoal + Eruption is broken Wait till Heatran gets added.

There were a lot of Pokemon Masters tracks in this video! I always get hyped hearing those renditions

lord zygrade can kill him

Shedinja will never make it into the game because of this, or at least will not be legal

I think if shedninja gets added it just wouldn’t be able to Tera kinda like how dynamax didn’t double its health

Ya, snow no longer hurts, only treat is sandstorm, and status effect, but also depends on shedinja terra type

@@ryono2759 Imagine if pokemon can have two abilites at the same time with Shedninja having pure as gold to be immune to status and tera into rock to not be damaged from sand.

annoying that gamefreak doesn’t just give it to lurantis in its moveset when they gave enamorous superpower in her moveset, smh

Fairy Ceruledge is also pretty nasty. Bitter Blade and Psycho Cut take care of the Fairy weaknesses pretty easily, and it gives resistance to Dark.

On top of that, Purifying Salts will also make it take half damage from Ghost-type moves, effectively removing its weakness to Ghost, making it only weak to Dark. So yeah, that's pretty good. ^_^

Thr beauty of terra, you can tune ur terra to really take advantage of specific match up that may have messed up your team otherwise

If you join the channel on KZfaq or subscribe to his Twitch, you can get access to his Discord where there's a posted list of all the best tera types for each Pokémon! I think he's also mentioned maybe making a video on those in the future, but we'll have to wait and see

Wolfey is a VGC player, so pretty much all of his vids center around the format. He doesn’t have as much experience in singles or even 6v6 doubles.

Be mindful that a top tier Tera might not be the best type for every mon.

oh how wrong you were

You were half right.
