gonna try to sound smart here

○ looking at HOME's listed teammates, they seem to have general Urshifu problems, so Tera Fairy can be used to essentially "trap" down an Urshifu on Close Combat/Wicked Blow if Sui doesn't have a Substitute, trading a little HP to gain advantage (of course, made less relevant with Sub)

○ HOME also lists Chien-Pao and Urshifu-Rapid as common defeats, which it can't do without losing huge chunks of health unless it Teras

○ while this can also be taken care of by Grass for example, Ogerpon, Serperior and Garganacl are all listed above #25 in RegF Singles and each threaten a Sub-less Suicune in their own ways, but Tera can be used to escape this and retaliate and Fairy is overall a better type than Grass due to more general resistances and an occasionally useful immunity (although the top Dragon type - Dragonite - only runs Scale Shot 33% or Outrage 14.5%, while the other two above #25 don't even run damaging ones more than 35% of the time)

also i seriously want to point out how funny this is to me: bro thinks he's Ting-Lu

hey so question

can any competitive players who aren’t stupid like me explain why Suicune has over 70% usage on Tera Fairy in Reg F Singles because I’m interested in using Suicune and I am very confused

Tera Blast isn’t in its most used moves and I don’t really see the defensive benefit of Tera Fairy on a pure Water type over something like Grass

I really just don’t get the point of it but I can tell I must be missing something because it’s so common and it’s bugging me lmao
