No, it does not make it crazy. 2HKO on Corv isn't something new or special.For example:
If the tera was designed with team sheets in mind, are we also going to mention that countless other things were too, like item clause or setting pokemon to level 50? Maybe they also had impacts.
This is correct, but I would argue that the in-person tournament circuit is the far more official interpretation of the mechanic for competitive use. The ladder is meaningless and largely “for fun”. They often did ridiculous formats on ladder that would likely not happen in official tournaments during the swsh ladder.
62% is the majority. The “No Action” camp does not have a majority.
You're missing the point entirely. You're able to take Pokemon that have no business 2HKOing a defensive wall, and giving them the ability to 2HKO one. That was my reasoning for taking Brute Bonnet. There is no reason something that bulky with Spore should be able to break a defensive wall.
we have generations of precedent to back up the idea of competitive balance with level 100 and no item clause. We do not have these precedents for Tera.
saying that the balance team was not aware that tournaments would be open team sheets sounds far more conspiratorial than the opposite.
Fair point, but they did make a casual and competitive mode for online, each already having different rulesets (restrictions) so they could have easily added previews to competitive if that truly was the intention.
I'm not saying they are unaware I just pointed out that they were different teams. I also highly doubt that that really influenced much on tera's end. It would also have to be developed after team sheets were decided. My point is, you are relying on a dodgy argument that is assuming many things including developer intention, reasons for locked box removal, and not adding team sheets to online ranked mode, when it likely changed nothing in regards to the development of tera, and is purely mind numbing.
No, you are wrong. They are both physical attackers with a choice band 2HKOing Corv after Rocks. The fact one gets spore does indeed make it better than one without it. However Breloom has more attack and more speed than Brute Bonnet and can also 2HKO Corv with a banded set. You don't even need to run adamant Nature to 2HKO Corv and Breloom gets Spore.
Haha well, yeah. Whether they make good decisions or not is beside my point though, all that matters is the fact that the “balance team” exists and likely planned the mechanic with open team sheet tournaments in mind.
....And one is using a 120bp move, while the other is using 80.
Idk maybe try calcing with a Def Mon that resists the move instead of taking a neutral hit? I have no idea why you are obsessed with Corv.
It seems you have a fundamental lack of understanding as to how the whole defensive core vs wallbreaker mechanic functions.
I mean the difference is rather clear. Nothing walls the right BU Terra Palafin. Stuff does Wall these mons you say are Broken.
And what walls SD Breloom, exactly?
Gholdengo works well if you run a more support set.
You're not factoring in Tera Grass for additional damage - which you should, because you're advocating for STAB only Tera.
I'm also in agreement, a world where tera doesnt actually change the type of a monotype pokemon, and only removes a secondary typing for everyone else, is just a world without tera but with free adaptability.
But you don't outspeed Gholdengo and it OHKO's Breloom and non banded +0 bullet seed doesn't do that much to Gholdengo.
I don't think this is a conversation worth continuing so I'm just going to not.
I would enjoy the meta less if tera was gone. May as well go back to SW/SH when stall at its highest and not worry about power creep
