I do hope that after we ban Tera that we don't get too overzealous with unban tests. Roaring Moon seems fair enough to give another shot, but we do NOT need that string cheese monster running around in Natdex again. I still have nightmares about those dark days.

We finally have another chance to get Tera out of this tier and have a balanced meta! I'll be on ladder working my hardest to get reqs, and I hope to see you all there! If we can remove Tera, the tier will be able to support far more diverse play. Maybe your favorite mon becomes viable. Maybe...

Okay I slapped dark tera on my Tangrowth and it seems decent enough to handle Hoopa. Thanks for the tips yall, and I rescind my previous statement. I have found a viable counter to the mon and have changed my opinion on suspecting it.

I appreciate you taking the time to write this out and provide some discussion about :hoopa_unbound:'s counterplay. I will be trying out some new ideas soon to handle it, and if I can get a workable solution, I will probably change my mind. If I may ask, do you know anything able to stall it out?

I'm fully aware that it's a pipe dream. I'd like it banned, yes, and I think that would be good. But I know it almost certainly won't happen so I'm not gonna scream about it forever and ever. I'm gonna be focusing my effort on discussing the more realistic problems to solve, but I did want to at...

Given the definition of a counter being Has the longevity to switch into repeated attacks and force it out I can't think of any in NDOU. Doesn't feel healthy to negate whole teamstyles with a mon since there's no defensive counterplay. To be clear, I don't think it's necessarily overpowered, I...

For a moment, I would like you to imagine your Tachyon Cutter failing to break sub on the first hit because your opponent got a lucky special defense boost the turn prior, and now the stat boosts snowball into an unwinnable nightmare. Your Haze mon gets OHKOed by the lucky SpA boost and now, you...

Thank god. I can finally enjoy the tier again. I mostly agree with the above comment in that I don't see the need for many more suspect tests at the moment. And I certainly think we don't need any more unban suspect tests. I just went through the list of NDUbers mons and I do not believe any of...

I agree with the above three comments. I do not like the changes we've seen in the tier in the last few weeks. We don't need yet more [insert ubers HO mon] in this tier. It's unstable enough as is with the sheer amount of offense. We don't need more. Everything was going fine until we started...

I am running a quad regen core right now but AV Tangrowth sounds disgusting and I might try it later. Alomomola is an excellent Regenerator user with Wish, Flip Turn, Scald, Toxic, Knock Off, and more to get the most out of its bulk and ability. Slowking-Galar has Toxic Spikes which is amazing...

I knew suspecting :roaring_moon: would ruin ladder for a couple weeks but I hopped on again the last few days to see for myself and I'm honestly shocked. For as bad as I thought Roaring Moon would be for the metagame, it has somehow proven itself to be even worse. No. No. And definitely not...

Could this be solved by banning Hypnosis? It's not like we can't ban a single move, after all, Baton Pass is banned. This way we can remove the RNG you cited while still keeping sleep around for the mons that use it in a healthy manner.

Stored Power's power boost still applies to Unaware mons, so they aren't necessarily safe. With that being said I think there are many good answers to omniboost stored power. Phazing moves, toxic, anything that can force a switch, (tera) dark type mons, Blissey and Chansey, etc. The only...

I like methodical play and long-term planning is all. I actually have a really good time playing stall, since I have an objective I'm trying to complete over a long period of time, and it's satisfying to watch it come to fruition exactly as I predicted. I agree that unbanning all these ubers is...

It really is a shame there isn't a sort of "National Dex OU Sandbox" where potential changes like this could be tested before implementation. When there aren't upcoming changes, it could be used for stuff like this. How much will Giratina-O mess up the metagame? It's unbanned this week in the...
