I imagine you dont have close combat on duck because of the defense drops, but you’re focus sash anyway. Also, iron valiant can have vacuum wave for priority, so if they switch that Pokémon in on a faster Pokémon they could be why. Also, stellar tera doesn’t change the Pokémon’s type at all. It gives them the boost to all moves they use (I believe just the first time per move). So, venu used earth power and that got boosted as if it was ground Tera type.

I don’t often use Dragon + Ground type pokemons because I’m often up against ice type moves. Good battle though
Good games
