I agree, and that is pretty much what I said. Mentioned Bug because in theory, it compresses the Dark and Grass roadblocks to subseed with one STAB... then in the next sentence noted the major drawbacks of that commitment. You have a lot of options for the last 2 slots of a subseed set...

Priority Taunt, Encore, Light Screen, and Memento are never to be underestimated. Whimsicott may struggle in the higher tiers but it's the kind of mon that always fills a funny niche. Subseed with minimum HP investment is a really annoying set. Tera Bug gives it an option to smack...

Can't believe it's been 6 years. Glad to see all the new options opened up to Minior this gen, I adored it in gen VII! Not much to add to your great writeup. It's cool that Minior has potential special flying stab. But with Tera, it could be possible to forego flying moves entirely. ^ on...

Now this is a good list! My only disagreements are Captain Falcon (should be a tier higher - he's an iconic part of smash history) and Mega Man (should be a tier higher, on par with Sonic and Pac Man). Kind of like R.O.B., Falcon is what I consider a "child of Smash". His powers were imagined...

I can't believe Horsemanship is real Next time I look at MTG cards I'm going to see "Cooking 3" and "Dishwashing 7" and have no idea what they mean

Back in my day, if you were a physical attacker, you had 65 SpA because we're ALL special. But now, my fellow trainers? Instead you have -30 SpA so those stats can go into your government assigned role. My minmaxed 130/130/130/5/130/5 physical tank is DUNKING on your pseudo legendary mons with...

Anyone upset with why Volcarona was quickbanned seemingly "out of nowhere" needs to read the reasonings provided by the council members. Even if many disagree - which is obvious given the uproar - it was a thoroughly considered decision and the council members shouldn't be accused of anything...

this Post was NOT easy to click on

I think it needs either max ATK, booster energy, or a 2nd attack in place of Taunt to have enough oomph to OHKO resistors after a little chip (including surprise Tera resistors). That's just in theory. I really want to try Trapper Moon; it's honestly the most unhealthy abuse of Tera in 6v6...

Finally the buffs Chien Pao needed. Chien Pao is one of the few Pokémon to resist both of Chien Pao's STABs. If you're tired of seeing Chien Pao, now's the time to start using him! ...on a serious note, while Tera Dark CB Pao Crunch still 2HKOs opposing CB Pao, in the mirror match this changes...

PROMOTION: If a pawn captures a piece, you can promote it into that type of piece (i.e. a Knight). TRAMPLE: Knights can move onto spaces occupied by your own pieces, albeit crushing them in the process. HOLY WAR: If a Bishop captures another Bishop, it can move once again in a row. BALLISTA...

The :heatran: comparison is an interesting topic. Though another apt comparison to :garganacl: would be the duo of :breloom: and :amoonguss:. Pre sleep nerf (and BW sleep ban), the concept of a "Sleep Absorber" was a thing. It was Covert Cloak to the extreme; you'd have a Pokémon running Sleep...

I think this was the right outcome. Gives players a chance to see Tera after the most egregious mons are removed (especially Chi-Yu), before retesting. Once Tera is banned I think there's little chance of it coming back because the "no gimmicks" status quo always just works. Something as...

Part of this may be due to the sheer abundance of mons, but I'm also curious how much min/maxing has been a factor if at all. Oftentimes, high BST mons have well-rounded stats, even stats they don't use or care much about. But in the same vein as how some Megas like M-Beedrill reduced SpA to...

Plants and Zombies. Real talk though, at the time of the OG release. PvZ was an incredible balance between "opposite" and "unrelated" to the point of absurdity, which is the vibe we are searching for.
