At no point did I blame Terastallize You might want to go back to school

the Speed Boost Ostrich literally feels like it's 2011 and I'm staring down Lead Ninjask on Full Baton Pass can't wait for Tera to be dealt with so we can start getting rid of these other problematic mons like "click rage fist xd" and "click calm mind + speed boost and Just Sweep XD with a...

Blunder's solution is the one I just posted here. I agree with it. It appears to be the best way to keep Terastal while shutting up the people who pretend Pokemon is Chess and want all information available at the start of battle 1 Tera mon per team + it is visible at Team Preview

Personally I think Terastal is fine, but to avoid it being banned entirely I strongly suggest Smogon implement Laurel's number 1 option, as shown here: https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/terastallization-tiering-discussion.3711464/post-9412264 This way the mechanic can stick around, the...

Gholdengo stans really out here with their helmets on, strapped in, sitting in their padded rooms, effortlessly stopping all Hazard removal just by breathing, Ghost Type stopping all trapping Moves/Abilities + Fighting immunity, Steel Type stopping all Poison moves + Poison immunity, Good as...

Like...so? Man, I do not like seeing these types of comments. Why are you people so hellbent on making Pokemon a watered-down version of Chess? I will never understand. Pokemon is full of RNG. That will never change, and there ain't nothing you or anyone can do about that. Not every OU match...

Houndstone: It's fine. Last Respects (LR) isn't even a problem until your opponent is down 2 mons (150 Power), and even then it's only a 150 Power move from something with Mew's attack stat. Hyper Beam isn't out here OHKO'ing entire teams either. I'd reckon you need at least 3 dead mons (200...

Terastal (Tera) is fine. Very fun, and certainly not "broken". Upon transforming, a Pokemon gains these effects: The Pokemon's Type becomes its Tera Type. Pokemon with 2 Types become a Pokemon with 1 Type, that Type being its Tera Type. (Example: Charizard with Tera: Fire becomes a pure...

That's what I said in my previous post. It doesn't make sense to ban Drizzle but leave the other auto-weathers alone. Now that auto-Rain counterplay is gone, auto-Sun can run wild. Why everyone pretends like I'm speaking another language is beyond me.

Drizzle + Swift Swim was banned in BW OU (Gen 5). Smogon has made exceptions before. In any case, if you think Azumarill and Crawdaunt getting their intended power boost from a weather condition while keeping their mediocre Speed and bulk (Aqua Jet doesn't fix everything) is enough to ban the...

lol you guys really gave in to the fearmongering I figured Swift Swim + Drizzle on the same team would be banned since the braindead Swift Swim mons outspeeding everything in Rain is obviously the problem, not the entire ability Drizzle. How does that even make sense when the other 3...

No, Spectrier is nothing like Urshifu. Urshifu hits like a Rampardos out the gate without people needing to make arguments that it burned something earlier in the battle so Hex will do 2x damage. Normal is immune to Ghost (whether its Shadow Ball or Hex), whereas nothing is immune to Dark...

Yeah i got to 1800 in Gen 8 OU with Barraskewda Rain Offense before I took a break. I got swept by a Spectrier like maybe once....ever. Bigger problems were Urshifu and Pheromosa before they got banned. And Amoonguss/Slowbro Regenerator cores making Barraskewda dead weight at team preview...

Bruh you just listed almost ten mons lol I thought it was "overcentralizing and forces players to run AV Gigalith, etc." You then go on to mention a burned Ferrothorn that 100% did not start the battle that way (lol) Even Shedinja and Volcarona would be Ubers if "all supereffective mons were...

I gave lots of examples to show that there are lots of answers to Spectrier. People are most likely just salty about Grim Neigh's snowballing potential. At some point the sheer variety of answers that include mons that would be used in OU anyway means that the threat in question does not in fact...

Spectrier I'm super late, but whatever. Just came here to say Nightmare Moon thicc horse isn't anywhere near broken (lol wut). Spectrier isn't like Urshifu, Pheromosa, Landorus-I, Genesect, and Naganadel. Against a competent opponent and well-built team, it cannot brute force its way through...

Urshifu - Base 130 Attack - Ignores Intimidate - Ignores screens - STAB on one of the strongest priority moves in existence to patch up <100 Speed - Amazing movepool covers all its counters (Aerial Ace, Poison Jab, Iron Head) - Bulk Up for free +1 on the poor souls mispredicting a Banded set -...

I am calm, boy. The other guy was also told to "relax" for some strange reason. Anyway, I was replying to the other guy to reassure him that the Council is probably going to act on his concerns soon, and that they probably aren't sitting and twiddling their thumbs. You didn't even need to reply...

Dracovish should be getting suspected soon. Its Fishous Rend damage is comparable to CB Rampardos Head Smash/CB Sheer Force Darmanitan Flare Blitz. However, unlike the aforementioned two, Dracovish doesn't have awful defenses, an awful typing, and staggering recoil keeping it in check. I can't...
