Electric tera type is really shit when you consider the fact that any mon can tera type into ground
But I can see Zeraora with flying tera type getting banned to Ubers. Volt absorb make rocks his only weakness, and Zeraora has amazing fighting type coverage to shit on any rock type

You know the Tera Type is predefinide, right? You can't choose the type on the fly, if you don't happen to have a good Tera-Ground type on your team you are fucked

Of course, but if this thing is supposedly going to be a menace to the comp scene, people would naturally start to bring pokemon with ground as their tera type.

We just change the ability to Adaptability usually.
If you can't, because of another ability interaction, then just do x1.3 (2/1.5) of the end result

And? Plenty of Pokemon will become Ground because it’s probably the best typing overall.
>Top 5 Defensively
>Top 3 Offensively
>Earthquake is one of the most widely distributed moves in the series

Nigga, plenty of Pokemon are going to become part Ground naturally. That’s what my post was saying since Ground is a genuinely amazing type that compliments a lot of Pokemon.

Ground is unironically way too good because of how many problem types are hit SE or neutral by it.

Ground is an amazing type and no one should think you’re being ironic for saying so.

Electric Latis sound strong, but they're not in the game, and 4/6 Rotom forms are pretty weak.
>>51733230
Also not in the game.
The only available levitate mons are Gastly, Haunter, Misdreavus, Mismagius, Rotom, Origin Giratina, Tynamo, Eelektrik, Eelektross, Cryogonal and Hydreigon.
Giratina's probably the best option since Hydreigon's only Electric moves are charge beam and shock wave.

It was good in rank cart singles but it's too passive for VGC. I did see some chucklefucks run weak armor WP Cursola with shadow sneak partner before they added DLC mons.

Because 99% of the game itself is singles. 99% of all battles through all the fucking entire franchise are single battles. That's why people prefer singles over doubles.
Start making the games be nothing but doubles and maybe you'll see people actually picking up interest on VGC beyond "it's official so we must play it".

Singles aren't suited to official formats since stall is just too powerful in that environment.
Smogon has popularized and normalized this playstyle, but in truth overpowered defensive moves and abilities like Recover and Regenerator are meant to be used as in-game convenience tools to save potions, not to make battles last forever.
GF has finally caught up on this, hence the Rest nerf (5 PP).
