      ​@@garbagelmao2730 Tried making a Flareon set actually. Normal Tera with fire orb, facade/trailblaze/flare blitz/protect. Might swap protect for something else, but I figured it was neat that Flareon could have a chance to shine thanks to not needing toxic orb anymore, plus flare blitz being better then fire fang. Sadly it's still just a bit too slow. If only some of those special attack points went into speed lol

    Great video! I gotta back up A Ninetails tho. When u said it never surprises, I surprise people a lot by going for a Nasty plot when I know they are gonna switch, especially when I know they are gonna switch to another weather setter. I've gone on sweeps and still get my A Veil up at times. Tera Steal is great for it as well. Blizzard or Moon blast + a NP goes brrrrrr!
    A Ninetails with encore is great too (but I don't have it on my set)

    I don't play comp or anything, but one thing I noticed is that Sandslash is one of the few Pokémon with access to Rapid Spin and Stealth Rock/Spikes while having a HP Draining move in Leech Life. Sadly it's... well a Bug Type move. While Ground would hit the Fire, Poison, and Steel Types that resist Bug, there's still Fighting, Flying, Ghost, and Fairy... granted Stealth Rock could threaten Flying. And then there's just... Sandslash's stats being VERY power creeped as a Gen 1 Pokémon. 😔
    Toedscruel and Brambleghast have Giga Drain, but that would use a Special moveset, and Rapid Spin is Physical. They also only have access to Spikes (and Toedscruel would always move last using Spikes because of its ability).
    Other Pokémon running Rapid Spin + hazard move would have to rely on items/abilities or take up another move slot just to heal.
    Edit: Throwing in that Sandslash also has access to Drill Run for possible Critical Hit shenanigans.

    So at 4:11 when you send out the hippo against greninja why does it shows earthquake to be super effective? Greninja is water and dark so it shouldn't be weak to it. I've also noticed when I was playing with npc which show that earthquake was supper effective against snorlex but normal it's not weak to ground move. I try searching this up but nothing comes up to why earthquake was supper effective to snorlex similar to here on how your eathquick is supper effective to greninja.
