Finally it's nice seeing him get the credit he deserves I run mine banded with Aqua Jet/Raging Bull/Wave Crash/ and Close Combat it outspeeds a lot of the meta game and can completely chunk pretty much everything with Tera Water
I just finished breeding a perfect iv and nature one to run with assault vest on for my tailwind team, it way overperformed when I tried it out for a few dozen games on showdown ladder, hopefully it will do the same next vgc season for me too
I’ve been finding a fair amount of success with Tera Steel Paldean-Tauros (Water) using Anger Point and Meowscarada. It’s a predictable strategy and good opponents mean you can’t just lead off with it in turn 1. However, it’s often very good with Rock Slide and maxed out attack as a late game sweeper. That said, Unaware Dondozo is a huge huge issue and means Tauros need support in the back to deal with it.
I've been having fun with water tauros for sure, 2 speed faster than hydreigon and exerts pressure on 2 of its 3 main teras? Yes, I believe you DO belong on the team
So, I knew from day 1 that this Pokemon was good. Decent typing, good move pool, decent stats, one of the best abilities in VGC. I never really understood why the internet seemed to be so low on it.
I'm ready to see Glimmora pop off tbh. It has insane move coverage, 130 SPAtk, works well under TR and TW. Can take good advantage of tera grass with energy ball, this roughly 2HKOs boosted nontera dondozo. Even if the dondozo teras it can cover for every singular popular option for super effective other than dragon with access to earth power and power gem. Great assault vest user.
Scrappy Flamigo is a surprisingly good anti-meta pick. With a Choice Scarf, you can just click CC to outspeed and pick up guaranteed OHKOs on Gholdengo, Hydreigon, Meowscarada, Maushold, Tyranitar, Kingambit, and Baxcalibur, with a chance to OHKO Amoonguss with Brave Bird. It also can't be Intimidated because of Scrappy, so the threat is hard to deal with.
Bro, Paldean Tauros is so good. Imma Paldean Tauros believer. When paired next to Stonjourner, it's a bulldozer. Power Spot along with Choice Band on any of its moves is very powerful. Stonjourner is a hidden gem. I believe it'll be amazing this Gen. I think of it like a bulkier(physically) slower Chien-Pao. But instead of lowering everyone's Defense (ally included), you only boost your ally's attacks. Free Life Orb boost + Rock Slide Flinches + Imprison/Protect/Wide Guard shenanigans is great.
Can you build a screens team with Skeledirge, Amoongus, Grimmsnarl and maybe Annihilape if it fits? I'm newish to VGC and a defensive style is the one i have enjoyed the most. I was using your skeldirge build to burn things. Amoongus for pollen puff and redirection and obviously grimm for screens. Just having trouble putting it all together.
I have been saying this since day 1. Tauros always seemed interesting to me in terms of what it could do and I am so glad someone has made a video on it. This video is great
I kinda hope we get more Espathra. I think that between Lumina Crash to bust Dondogiris and the potential for Instruct + Calm Mind + Stored Power (alongside Spped Boost, more than Opportunist) feels huge
Can you take a look at Gallade? I’m wondering how good it is this generation with Sharpness STAB Sacred Sword, as well as the various coverage moves it can run
QOTD:coincidentally I think Tauros fire is amazing, I've been running a Cud Chew Set, eved to live a Tera Garchomp Earthquake, burn it, protect get 2nd pinch berry and live another one, the speed to outrun Modest Hydra and Timid Gholden and tera grass to 1v1 water types
Tauros has been everywhere in San Diego on stream, I lowkey love the Renaissance it's having. I wasn't a competitive player back in Gen 1 when it dominated everything
as a pure fighting tauros tamer I'm glad to see tauros getting use. While water and fire tauros are better than the pure fighting tauros, I'll still main the pure fighting tauros. I mean someone got to do it.
Paldean tauros fire does arcanines job better than arcanine on a sun team. Max hp, max def, raging bull (break screens), will o wisp (cripple attackers), body press, (destroys hydreigon and other darks), protect
Sleeper pick Hydreigon
QoTD: Tera Flying Jolteon will be the sleeper pick that will make a run at SD.
I LOVE PW-Tauros

Idea. Paldean Torus Water with Anger Point and Tera grass paired with Meowscarada using flower trick

Hot Take: Series 2 allows paradox pokemon. How crazy will that be?

Actually 🤓 it's Aqua Breed Tauros not Paldean Tauros Water 🤓🤓🤓

I prefer the fire but water makes sense with tera fire
ppl have been sleeping on tauros water, its such a good threat
With its speed tier and low special attack its also a good mon to use surf to proc weakness policy.

Tfw Munkey and Kyle said their Bax team was bull dookie
Water Tauros is based for being Quaquaval type but with Intimidate and more speed. V helpful into the Hydreigon sets running around
Gamefreak like "stuff balance, give it the typing of Keldeo because… why not?"
Im sorry but whenever I hear “raging bull”, all I can think of is a somersaulting cheese factory

meowscarada be like: 😋
The pause moment in 11:14, when even the music stopped, was unintentionally funny as hell
ooo wat about a weakness policy Amor with weak amor expanding force theres no way it can go up against that bro 🥲
I have a blaze breed one with Anger Point which I tend to swap in on against Meowscarada which is quite fun
hmmm i do wonder would using Impish nature with AV be a good idea?
I´ve been wondering about a pokémon pairing with Aqua Breed using Frost Breath to trigger Anger Point.
Can you take a look at Gallade? I’m wondering how good it is this generation with Sharpness STAB Sacred Sword, as well as the various coverage moves it can run
İ like vids with your friends, don’t listens to those meanies
I'm interested in Anget Point Tauros-Fire as a hard Meowscarada check
Could you please make a video about Garganacl? I don't get it

Watching VGC right now. You predicted it absolutely correct bro. Current game I’m watching has a Taurus on both teams 😂
Tauros has been everywhere in San Diego on stream, I lowkey love the Renaissance it's having. I wasn't a competitive player back in Gen 1 when it dominated everything
as a pure fighting tauros tamer I'm glad to see tauros getting use. While water and fire tauros are better than the pure fighting tauros, I'll still main the pure fighting tauros.
I mean someone got to do it.
So what's with that "Cursed" team that asks me not to ask about it in the comments?
marcos fucking called it
This video aged excellently
Paldean tauros fire does arcanines job better than arcanine on a sun team. Max hp, max def, raging bull (break screens), will o wisp (cripple attackers), body press, (destroys hydreigon and other darks), protect
I'm really curious about the salazzle in this team, is it the anti dondozo tool?
Just saying, I was playing a battle with a friend and saw choice banded Fire tauros not KO offensive tandemaus with Raging Bull. This mon is not him
