    Tera gave Oricorio so much more. I don't know how good it'll be beyond series 1, but it was my saving grace in a number of series 1 matches. Being able to switch in or Protect and still get an attack in and/or a stat boost has saved me a number of times. I had tera Ground for Oricorio, and I loved that it changed Revelation Dance's type. I know the stats are bad, but sometimes an extra hit can save you, and Oricorio is reliable in giving you that extra hit.

    Fun fact about Copperajah: with its hidden ability Heavy Metal it becomes the heaviest pokemon by far at 1300kg (next heaviest is 1000kg). This means that with Heavy Slam, it almost always gets the maximum base power of 120 (+ STAB). With a base attack stat of 130, this thing can go for 1HKOs with Choice Band. It can even 1HKO Annihilape depending on EVs and/or damage rolls. It gets nice coverage moves like Superpower, Earthquake, and High Horsepower. Tera ground + High Horsepower can 1HKO Skeledirge. It also gets Sheer Force if you prefer the more consistent Iron Head and fairy/rock coverage with Play Rough and Rock Slide.
    Unfortunately for Copperajah, Gholdengo exists, which nullifies its entire existence as a steel type heavy-hitter. And despite its good HP, its defense stats aren't good enough to make it bulky, especially since you'll want to be investing EVs/nature in attack. It basically mandates using a support ally like Friend Guard Maushold, which isn't always ideal. So... yeah, D tier is accurate.

      They generally give physical attackers higher stats which intimidate accounts for. There is a plethora of strong attackers in the 120-135 base stat range, but very few special attackers in that same range. Physical attackers also tend to rely on setup more with ddance and swords dance, and also there is no item that boosts defense (choice band, specs, scarf, assault vest, but no defense boosting item). The defense boosting item is actually intimidate and the game is balanced around that, so if there was a specially focused intimidate special attackers would be too weak

    I feel like you missed something pretty important about Slowking--his regenerator + chilling reception sets for snow. It's got really good synnergy, and while the loss of turn-1 snow kind of bites, it also is a solid way to override other weather since it's bound to come last. Slowking himself being a water/psychic also resists a lot of things that do super-effective to ice, so it becomes a really good addition to snow teams.

    36:08 So you know what would be really cool and might even help improve Revavroom based on what you said for it? If they gave us the Starmobiles. The Team Star bosses should've each given us their Revavroom in the post-game, and each should've had their respective boss fights ability, torque move, and tera type, with all of the torque moves then being added as egg moves for all Revavrooms. It's so weird to me that they added the first Steel/Poison type, gave it so much unique stuff in the story, and then didn't give us access to any of it.

    Few takes from this vid:
    - He forgot that Evolite Ursaring is a thing in Singles (and it currently works despite its evo not being available).
    - Houndoom is among the list of Gholdengo and Skeledirge counters, so as Clawitzer.
    - Ghost Tera Cacturne with Water Absorb can fully counter Palafin (lacking Ice Punch, that is).
    - ORICORIO IS A MENACE IN DOUBLES if you use it alongside Aqua Step Quaqaval and/or Fiery Dance Volcarona/IronMoth as those also proc Dancer and provide you a 3rd attack within a single turn (search about it on youtube).
    - Forretress is indeed a box of surprises, as it not only has all the tools to manage the hazards and clean terrain but also it is the only Tera Normal Explosion + Normal Gem user after Garganacl.
    - Sawsbuck has Body Slam and Headbutt and, outside Serene Grace, Tera Water + Sap Sipper means 1 weakness while retaining Spore immunity (and a +1 boost on a predicted switch into it).
    - Kofu unironically taught us how to use Crabominable.
    - Camerupt is indeed awful when not terastalized, but seen some streamers running Tera Grass with it otherwise.
    - I would put Whiscash in E tier too, until I found one of those (holding AV) in doubles spamming Icy Wind, Spark, Chilling Water and Fissure, which actually made me reconsider twice.
    - I think Luxray still lacks bulk enough to justify it being D tier.
    - Eelektross is more like a borderline between C and D tier, it just needs the right way to fit 4 moves into it, which is its major issue besides its speed.
    - Sandaconda also has the surprisingly good recovery in the form of Rest + Shed Skin.
    - Skill Swap Intimidate can be exchanged with another ally with Intimidate (from Gen8 onwards), thus providing a -2 ATK for both opponents. Additionally, you can also reproc your weather back if you use Skill Swap on an ally's weather ability while also providing a -1 ATK to your opponents.
    - Spiritomb also has some moves for doubles that allow it to speed control, altho its biggest selling point also comes in the form of Foul Play when combined with those.
    - Encore Lumineon is also a bit annoying to deal with.
    - Doesn't Medicham get Axe Kick?
    - There have been some players using Zoom Lens Rotom-F alongside Thunder and Blizzard for an orthodox BoltBeam combo, as well as terastalizing it to Electric to remove all weaknesses.
    - Sap Sipper Water Tera Goodra is pretty strong, and most importantly, it's a great Spore bait against those who underestimate it.
    - Mudsdale with Counter is ironically good against wallbreakers like Dragonite as Counter even bypasses Multiscale to my surprise.
    - Appletun should be B Tier. Seen streamers in ranked play using it as their trump card in singles, and it's pretty rewarding even on the thightest situations.
    - Dudunsparce also has Yawn and plenty other means of disrupting. Its pre-evo in Ghost Tera (under Evolite) using Curse + Roost can also stall teams in lategame scenarios (same strategy can be also done with Skeledirge, but with the additional option to trap with Fire Spin).

    Watching this video I must say I REALLY wished you'd done it either from A-Z, by Pokedex number or anything other than by Ranking. I'm not sure if it's just me, but I find ranking videos more interesting if you can more easily tell the difference between a good thing and a bad thing. If you have a good thing, then a bad thing, then maybe a middle thing, then a good thing, and so on, it's easier to understand the differences, than if you have everything bad, everything slightly better than bad, everything slightly better than slightly better than bad and so on, and the diversity in rankings makes the video more appealing. It also kind of takes away the suspense factor of "Oh, where is this Pokemon going to be in?!". As a Viewer, if the RUclipsr goes "Next, we have X Pokemon . . . ", I'll immediately go "Oh he's probably gonna put that in Y Tier!", and then be excited if I'm right or wrong, and . . . it's just more fun that way to me.~
    I'm not sure if others feel the same way, however.

    1:23:18 i started cackling like a madman at that, that is hilarious!
    Also, i wouldnt put either dugtrio or ursaluna in f tier.
    For dugtrio, its mostly due to speed, and ability. Arena trap is dumb lol. Preventing switches is kinda insane, you basically force your opponent to attack, and they dont have a choice. Removing such a crucial option is kinda big. I wouldnt say it makes dugtrio GOOD on its own, but definitely at least E tier.
    Ursaring is actually interesting, because even tho ursaluna isnt in the game yet, it technically does have an evolution coded in the game, so that means eviolite should right now work on ursaring. That can allow you to maybe do some stupid things with him, be a bulky attacker, maybe a wall/support. Im almost positive you can make him actually work surprisingly well. Because of that eviolite potential, i just cannot see him being f tier.

    Just wanted to clear something up about Lycanroc. You said midday lyconroc is the best for doubles, which is true, but used the image of dusk form lyconroc. I've never played competitive pokemon before, but started this gen with a tyranitar flying tera + midday lycanroc team and I love it. Got to masterball rating and top 500 S/V doubles OU on pokemon showdown with the team. Definitely do not sleep on him, sand rush makes him a monster this gen when paired with tyranitar. Also, unless you're up against a deffensive EV maushold, you can one shot it with close combat, which also makes you more brittle, and more likely to be taken down to 1 HP with sash. A lot of maushold players that know about sash will go for population bomb to counter the mechanic, but if you switch to tera ghost you won't even be able to be hit. There's a lot of nasty normal type moves this gen, extreme speed, boomburst, population bomb etc. so ghost type with close combat can be a perfect counter. Also just wanted to say Dusk form Lycanroc is not bad in singles, sharp claws is a great ability that shouldn't get slept on, but not nearly as good as midday lycanroc with sand rush in doubles.
