    I would like to discuss the current state of Moody and hear your opinion on whether it should remain banned in this tier. Since gen8, Moody no longer affects evasion, which was the main reason it was considered anti-competitive in the past. The removal of the Dynamax mechanic, which allowed for...

    Just make the HP divisible by 16. For example, a spread of 12 HP / 244 Atk / 252 Spe should work.

    Totally agree with this one. Excellent speed tier, its CB set has immediate power, Z wild charge too, but it also can set up with Z howl or ID body press. With fewer ghost types in the tier, Zamazenta will raise quickly. I strongly believe the suspect test for this mon was not done at the right...

    Announcement SV National Dex Suspect 5: Gambling

    ( lol ) If you have read literally the post above you, I have explained why it is very likely that, even if other tests are conducted in the future, no other mon will be banned. As this logic seems to make no sense to you, I will detail it in depth. In the latest player survey, when asked to...

    Announcement SV National Dex Suspect 5: Gambling

    I would like to share my point of view on this test, because this decision is crucial for the development of the tier. What is being voted on here is not whether we ban Gambit or not; what is decided with this suspect test is whether we change the tier or leave it as it is. Surveys have shown...

    I would like to give my point of view on the matter of terastallization. I have seen doomerposting about the end of the tier, and I believe that sentiment has been fueled by the decisions made since the initial tera test. In my opinion, the council's actions have been aimed at forcing a second...

    Imo, ursaluna was far away from deserving a quickban in a tier where we have things like kingambit. It doesn't seem logical to me, and I can't understand some of the decisions made by the council lately, with all due respect. In the first player survey, people found pult more problematic than...

    The problem with TR is that you can extend any weather or terrain to 8 turns but there isn't any item for TR. Moves like Fake Out (Mega-Lop) or Protect (Ferro, Garg, Pex) can simply stall your turns. Besides that, dual screens and strong priority moves (Kingambit) make it very difficult to be...

    As I said before, people who like Tera are not expressing their opinion, so you can have a distorted perception. I myself didn't go for reqs in the previous test, but would vote unban if it's repeated in the near future. If we let the tier stabilize with the tiering actions needed, and then...

    So are we repeating the same test three months later? That's not serious. The tier isn't even stable, the only test made (apart from the quickbans) was the Espathra one, and mons like Wake has appeared. Let's say we do another test to suspect Tera... Will we be revisiting that decision every...

    I think you guys could be misunderstanding the situation. People who actually like Tera have no need to be posting 200 messages sharing that opinion, because the current state of the tier is what it is, and there's no tiering action programmed for the future. When the suspect test was done, most...

    Yeah, and how do you know which set it's running? Most checks for DD will die to specs. Pult is the greatest menace of this tier and it's almost mandatory to include it in your team. It can plays several roles and sweep with a single DD in the late game. At least it deserves a test, and people...

    I think it's time to do a suspect test for Dragapult. New additions (like Walking Wake) could be banworthy and there's still a lot to evaluate, e.g. Damp Rock.

    Melmetal is banned, and even in that case it doesn't worth it. In most cases you will get LD applied to a healthy, full-HP mon that has 2-3 PPs used. CB Tera Steel Melm was so spammable, but Punching Gloves with coverage was also an excellent choice. Healing Wish is more useful than Lunar Dance...

    I've been playing Trick Room the last few weeks and it's so weird to notice Lunar Dance being far worse than Healing Wish in almost every scenario. LD is only better with Revival Blessing Pawmot as there's no way you run out of PPs with other mon on TR. Wrong quote, I guess.
