I believe he means that in 2012 it wasn't legal when the person wrote that article, as the ability was not available yet while in DW OU it was available, and was eventually made available in OU The only way to know for certain would be to go look for the threads that these analysis were posted...

Kyogre and Koraidon are literally in B tier and Lunala is in C. "If we ignore the pokemon with better results than it" ahh response The difference between the 3 is that Terapagos has yet to reach a final much less win, and don't say it's because its losing to A and S tiers. Stockholm Eric...

I see Atlanta and raise you; EUIC, San Juan, Vancover, the other half of top 8 in Atlanta, and another handful of tournaments where "worse" mons finished ahead of the highest finishing Terapagos. I don't see the justification of ranking something in A that is getting outclassed by things ranked...

I know that Reg G is coming to an end soon, but Terapagos should not be in A tier anymore. Outside of Stockholm, usage has been down across the board and the people that are using it are getting outperformed by players using "worse" pokemon according to the viability rankings. A -> B

I feel like there should be a discussion on moving Terapagos down a tier. Usage stats are down in the first 3 NA/EU regionals+EUIC compared to the first 3 NA/EU regionals+NAIC from last year and players that are using it are failing to reach top 8 while pokemon that are considered "worse" than...

Almost everything has been moved to the discord server

It doesn't help that CSR players were being greedy with their EVs/nature going either Modest or investing 128 or fewer EVs with a Timid nature, max speed Jolly Koraidon has 205 speed while 252 Modest CSR is only 202 and Timid 128 spe is 204.

I cannot speak for smogon's rules for trading/battling as it's been a hot minute since I looked at them, but if you're talking about in the eyes of Pokemon/Play Pokemon! when using them at VGC events or for putting into Bank/Home, no they're not legal.

Guess we're just ignoring the part where I said; "and quite a few mons just straight up threaten/ignore it in reg h." Like, Rain+arch laughs at it, mausape thanks it for the +1 attack and takes at least 50% of its hp off drain punch, 'dozo ohkos with wave crash, psyspam has psychic terrain to...

Feel like Incineroar being in A tier after being on only 1 team in top 8 at Worlds for masters division, and quite a few mons that just straight up threaten/ignore it in reg h is a pretty generous ranking.

Outside of having wide guard and quick guard, there isn't any supporting move it has that you can't find a better user of. Taunt/trick+screens? Grimmsnarl. Encore+Helping hand? Whimsicott. Twave/icy wind? lol there's at least 20 better users. False Swipe Gaming can go into better depth as to why...

I wouldn't say its unviable but it's also not amazing either. Kinda mid-ish? Your miles may vary on how you do, newbies and scrubs will get caught off guard by it but top players will have answers for it.

wrong thread for looking for battles.

Why is CTS even a thing in the first place? If the ladder is using the VGC ruleset then OTS should be used by default.

So, am I wrong in assuming that the new mirror herb is meant to expedite egg moves now? IE: Getting Azumarill belly drum through a picnic with a Hariyama that has the move instead of breeding it with a mon from the poliwag line?
