>drilbur used mud slap!

good one
>what is Levitate
>what is Mold Breaker
Fricking moron lol. why do you think he chose Drilbur specifically
>/vp/ in charge of fixing competitive
I wonder if they'll add another ground move capable of hitting flying types and levitate mons to counteract tera shit
Do you say "High-dray-gon" or "High-dry-gon"? The latter's supposed to be correct because of the German word, but I've only ever heard people say the former.
>Do you say "High-dray-gon" or "High-dry-gon"?
Trioxhydre
istg I was about to reply the same, do all baguettegays share the same brain?
you know that's a goated idea, right? I mean not 4x but like 2x
The second one, not only is the German correct but it sounds closer to "hydra"
I say "High-Dre-gon"
Highdrygon
>yfw Brick Break ignores type and always does 4x damage to terastalled pokemon

fairy? ice?

Steel is better

>directly counters four of its five normal weaknesses, including Fairy
>doesn't require Tera Blast
Hydreigon has medium bulk so having a lot of resists counts for more than having no weaknesses. Electric sounds better on Latios once it returns since it's faster.
Terasilization only boosts damage you inflict, it doesn’t act as a third type for immunities.
see
OP is right tho. A Tera Electric Hydreigon would have no weakness since it has Levitate like good old Eelektross
"he-drag-gone"
Honestly, what counters it? what can beat a bulky roost + nasty plot set once it becomes electric with no weaknesses? What about other levitators? Anything that can abuse electric tera will abuse it: flygon, cresselia, lati@s, cryogonal, giratina... how will they balance all of these fat fricks with setup and recovery? will they just get rid of levitate? will they just make more fast and strong mold breakers? will they make moves that ignore immunities? give electric another weakness?
ENTER
They won't do jackshit because Electric is a terrible offensive and defensive typing. Its sole identity as a type is that it fricks off to Ground and provides decent neutral coverage. So, all those Tera users trying to "cheese" are just going to get stomped because they traded out an actual typing for the second most neutral typing in the fricking game. Type chart matters a lot, but when nearly everything hits you for neutral it doesn't fricking matter if you don't have any weaknesses.
>resists itself, steel, flying
>can't be paralyzed
It's not good defensively but for the bulkier levitate users resisting flying and steel is not that bad of a deal. For example cresselia's normal resists (itself, fighting) aren't much better, and by converting it gets rid of two important weaknesses (ghost, dark). Electric is good offensively, specially if they get access to ice moves on top of tera blast
Just like every pokemon is getting Tera Blast, everything is also getting Pico Blast, which is a +1 priority 150 BP typeless move that only works on Terastalled Pokemon, and instantly kicks them out of it.
>>>+1 prio
>*terastals Farigiraf*
Pssh... nothing personnel kid..
>what can beat a bulky roost + nasty plot set
Toxic from Clefable :^)
cut :^)
>because Electric is a terrible offensive typing
Without Hidden Power Ice most electric types have dropped a few tiers.
well good thing hydreigon learns like a million moves.
>Not using the hidden tech of Poison-Hydreigon
only weak to Psychic? sounds gud but Poison is ass offensively. it does hit Fairy I guess.
Honestly wouldn't make more sense to use steel tera at that point?
Steel has more weaknesses. You especially don't want to keep that Fighting weakness, since regular Hydreigon is already weak to it
but hey why not, the Tera you want really depends on team comp at the end of the day
Electric gives you no weaknesses and lets you hit the most things effectively out of the three.
Steel would give you the most resistances but the most weaknesses, plus you don't have to waste a terablast move slot on a steel move.
Poison hits about the same number of effectiveness as steel but only has one weakness that you can answer with STAB Dark.
It's something of a toss up of preference.
There is also the option of Fire as well
>Electric has no weaknesses, but best Electric STABs being Shock Wave and Tera Blast, and also doesn’t compliment Dragon/Dark
>Steel has frick load of resistances, namely Bug/Fairy/Ice, and has Flash Cannon, but is still weak to Fighting
>Poison compliments Dragon/Dark the most (Poison resisting Fighting/Bug/Fairy, being neutral with Ice, and its immune to Psychic pre-Terastallization), but you need to use Tera Blast unless Hydreigon gets Sludge Bomb or Belch is buffed
>Fire resists Ice/Fairy/Bug, like Steel does but without being weak to Fighting, and has natural Fire coverage, but now Hydreigon is Rock weak
All these have their advantages and disadvantages too
I'd also add that
>electric tera makes hydreigon immune to paralysis (can't use electric terrain)
>poison tera makes hydreigon immune to poison (can't remove toxic spikes)
>steel tera makes hydreigon immune to poison and sandstorm, resists rocks
>fire tera makes hydreigon immune to burn but weak to rocks (unless HDB)
To the list of advantages/disadvantages. Steel gives the most passive bonuses for a bulkier set imo, but the other three have better offensive synergy
>And gamefreak introduced brand new common ground move that ignores ability
>not using Flying Tera Hydreigon
NGMI
This b***h would benefit so badly from Tera. It’s already at the top of OU without a usable ability to artificially buff it like everyone else in the tier. Every literal fanfic meta where Weavile can boost its raw damage output through some ability has gotten it banned. Imagine it with double dark stab or double ice stab.
They're going to nerf Levitate.
Too many kids feeling smart about electric type Tera with no weaknesses.
