Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
I would like to see a TB-less meta but I just wanna talk about this point bc Volc has been contentious in literally every generation. It was doing the same thing as with Tera Blast but with the (albeit weaker but still QD boosted) Hidden Power - flipping the script on what could be a positive...
Really and truly, I think the suspect will come down to exactly what ausma said here. These are the two big philosophies on how tiering policy and unbanning Ubers; whether you think it has a place in OU or whether it is simply not broken in OU and can be handled and I think it's hard to convince...
I see what you're saying but Volc never only ran Tera Ground anyway, the whole issue is it could be any Tera and you just have to hope it's the one your team can deal with.
Even then, I think Fairy and Grass were more common so your theoretical Volcarona check doesn't work out
Yh I kind of get it your point, in that it's just an alternative survey kind of? Enough people clearly feel some kind of way about Palafin to get it re-tested, the same as would be the case in a normal survey anyway. It just happens to be in the form of Likeshop.
But also as Finch said, I find...
I kind of think Curse is the most problematic thing in the meta right now post Torkoal/Glast/speed-halving ban. There's a reason Victory/Quiver Dance is typically low-distribution and almost every mon learns Curse.
Very funny because I used to think the opposite, but I don't think whether Ubers should drop into OU should be based on if they add anything into the tier in terms of helping the metagame - it should just be based off of if the mon is dogshit in Ubers and is not broken in OU.
