As for Sticky Terrain, I'd like the thought of Poison moves being boosted, but what about making it so that Items also can't be Knocked Off, Tricked/Switcharooed off, destroyed, or stolen as well, since those moves are fairly prevalent? A Terrain Extender and ways to tutor Terrain Moves onto Pokémon in the future would be nice as well, and perhaps giving Haagross Sticky Terrain as a ability would see its usage increase, but I'm not sure how they would program those features in, or how long it would take for them to do so in the first place....
It's pretty easy to forget that third effect that Grassy Terrain has, tbh. But yeah, very powerful since EQ is really common.
Hmmm...yes, immunity to item theft/loss would be an interesting side effect. Probably not enough to warrant using the move on its own, but it would make it a nice sorta anti-meta type move, wouldn't it? Fits pretty well with the move's name, too. And seeing as Sticky Hold exists, the effect should be possible to implement in theory.
Not really sure about the Terrain ability thing, since that seems to be reserved for the Legendaries in the main games right now (since it's unique to the Tapus and all). Though the abilities are certainly what made the Terrains super duper viable in the first place...new items might be a little harder, though...
I always found it weird that Misty Terrain is the only one of the Terrains from Gen 6 learned naturally by Uranium's currently released pokemon, tbh (though Zephy will have access to Electric Terrain when it's released...except it can't benefit from it at all while its Levitate ability is active...yeesh...).
Another thing that would help Sticky Terrain's viability would be if Haagross could learn Volt Switch. Seems the devs didn't get all of the unlearnable egg moves accounted for. Though Volt Switch is a tutor move (but why is Jolteon the only potential Volt Switcher that can learn it that way?)
