Ability: Intimidate
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Wave Crash
- Close Combat
- Aqua Jet
- Zen Headbutt

This bull is raging through NU! Paldean Tauros-W leverages its solid Attack, good Speed tier, and high-Base Power moves to be one of NU's scariest wallbreakers. Aqua Jet is a great priority option, handily revenge killing faster threats like Kilowattrel, Mienshao, and Choice Scarf users like Porygon-Z and Flygon. Zen Headbutt complements Paldean Tauros-W's other attacks well, OHKOing Toxicroak while also significantly threatening Dragalge and Vileplume. Tera Water amps up the power of Wave Crash just enough to 2HKO Flygon and Klefki. Paldean Tauros-W is an excellent partner for Electric-types like Bellibolt and Kilowattrel, threatening Ground-types like Flygon and Gligar, while its teammates handle Water-types like Vaporeon and Inteleon. Paldean Tauros-W also appreciates Steel-type partners such as Bronzong and Registeel that can switch in on Fairy- and Psychic-type foes like Florges, Sylveon, and Munkidori; in exchange, it can threaten Fire-types like Chandelure and Incineroar.

This bull is raging through NU! Paldean Tauros-W leverages it's solid Attack, good Speed tier, and high-Base Power moves to be one of NU's scariest wallbreakers. Aqua Jet is a great secondary STAB attack, handily revenge killing faster threats like Kilowattrel, Mienshao, and Choice Scarf users like Porygon-Z and Flygon. Zen Headbutt complements Paldean Tauros-W well, OHKOing Toxicroak while also significantly threatening Dragalge and Vileplume. Tera Water amps up the power of Wave Crash just enough to 2HKO Cresselia as well as (after an Intimidate) Overqwil. Paldean Tauros-W is an excellent partner for Electric-types like Bellibolt and Kilowattrel, threatening Ground-types like Flygon and Palossand while they handle Water-types like Vaporeon and Inteleon. Paldean Tauros-W also appreciates Steel-type partners such as Bronzong and Registeel who can switch in on foes like Florges, Munkidori, and Sylveon; in exchange, it can threaten Fire-types like Chandelure and Incineroar.
Cresselia is banned and Defensive Overqwil isn't really relevant. 2 more notable benchmarks tera reaches is an OHKO on Klefki and flygon. for ground-types do gligar > palo. gligar is way more relevant and is immune to bellibolt toxic. specify the dynamic between the things that threaten tauros and are walled by steels (they are fairy / psychics)
