Pokemon Competitive Singles has been turned on its head with the release of The Indigo Disk DLC.

Terrakion was once an OU level threat back in Generation 5, and remained in the respectable UU tier since then. With great offensive stats and typing, and access to the coveted Stealth Rock, Terrakion was never too bad.

In Gen 9 however, Terrakion's usage was so low that it fell all the way down to PU, Smogon's lowest official tier. Seeing Terrakion amongst peers such as Plusle and Morpeko just doesn't seem right.

Let's explore how this outlier situation occurred, thanks to quirks in Smogon's tiering system and various different factors affecting Terrakion's unprecedented low usage.

Will he see it?

Some will never figure out how to get Terrakion in Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet. But famous player Jim Cool is well aware of the Best Terrakion Moveset in Competitive, and even how to Terrakion Shiny Farm. Many aren't and never will be. That's just the unfortunate reality of the world.

Game Freak just blew all other online game development schools out of the water with this incredible new 2022 release. You're gonna need to get a game design degree online, and FAST, if you want to make a better game than this. Not even the best strategy games android reddit could hold a candle to this breathtaking Next generation competitive Pokemon experience.

Scream Tail is the Jigglypuff of our wildest dreams. It has been buffed with some higher statistics and the incredible ability, Protosynthesis. Gen 9 Competitive Pokemon wouldn't be the same without this powerful pink blob. He kinda looks like someone I met in one of my game design and development courses.

Gen 9 Pokemon Showdown is one of the greatest online gaming sites in history. From Pikachu and Charizard, to Palafin and Roaring Moon, The new Pokemon games, Pokemon Scarlet & Violet, have introduced a lot of new faces. Can I succeed in one of the best android games of all time? If so, I'm gonna get myself a Walmart bakery Pokemon cake to celebrate.

Gholdengo is a Pokemon made of pure gold. He must have done some online business management courses to accumulate all that wealth. Or perhaps he might want to learn how to make money playing video games on YouTube. In any case, he's a powerful metagame force, with absolutely no interest in online game development schools.
