Does Terastalizing affect Sheer Cold's accuracy?

Question

If an Articuno were to terastalize into a Dark type, would Sheer Cold's accuracy stay 30%, or would it drop down to 20%?

Also, does a non Ice type terastalizing into an Ice type get the accuracy raise for Sheer Cold or no?

Comments

I don't see why it wouldn't drop.

I don't actually know the answer, but from what I know I don't think it would? Terastalization would only cause the ice pokemon to lose ice typing defensively, and it would still have the ice typing offensively. Since it retains an offensive ice type, theoretically it would maintain the 30% accuracy.
This is pure guessing though, hence why it's a comment and not an answer, so don't take this as gospel.

It doesn't "have the typing offensively". It just gets STAB for all the types it had right before Terastallizing.

might be a bit difficult to do but I guess you could go up against a pokemon 70 levels lower than you and if it misses while tera then that means that it affects the accuracy

Answer 1

Sheer Cold has a cool animation in this game.

Tested with a lvl75 Tera Poison Glalie I got out of a random raid, hunted Lvl 5 Pokémon exclusively on Poco Path. Eas incredibly tedious due to having to recharge at the Pokemon center after every battle, but after 34 attempts, I did infact miss a Sheer Cold while terastralized against an Igglybuff.

So yes, Terastalization does affect the accuracy of Sheer Cold if the loses its Ice Typing.

Hope I helped.

What about if a non-Ice Terastallizes into an Ice?

I need to find a Kyogre first before I can test this, but I'll test when I find one.

any update?
