"Hyper-offense", or just a mixed of strong pokemons. (https://pokepast.es/9a14ef5fbe3f7dd2) (I'm french, so pardon in advance my poor english.) I've been playing quite a while on the UU ladder (as Poirepi2), and this team has proven to be really performant (it has beaten lots of...

The single fact you have to run either E-Killer or a random Tera-Normal type, or both, or more, on every f* team in order not to get destroyed by a late-game agility Basculegion, is enough to ban this stupid move. I don't care about the typical smogon jesuitical issues, "LR is not broken, it's...

"There are too many threats so we have to ban them all to restore our perfectly balanced metagame :blobtriumph:" Or maybe the solution lies in accepting the massive powercreep this generation has brought, and reevaluate the standards of competitive play ? Like, idk, accepting Flutter Mane, Iron...

Sure, it's better to waste entire months trying to find a "balance" in a Metagame which by essence, due to Tera and powercreep, can never be. In a few weeks, you'll make the same post saying "I don't want OU to settle around Gholdengho or Iron Valliant", while you'd seen no issue with them...

So who's next ? Gholdhengo, Iron Valliant or Iron Moth ? Maybe the OU tier would have balanced itself hadn't you banned 15+ mons.

Just want to say that I find Iron Valliant way more oppressive than...Espathra ? Ban Chi-Yu, that thing is broken.

I don't see the issue ; Tera types preview is also impossible on cartridge.

I haven't read all the comments and I guess what I'm about to say has already been said, but I have a suggestion to make to "balance" the mechanic. What if Terastallization gave only the Pokemon the STAB according to the Tera type ? It would force defensive uses, prevents every sweeper from...

Thank you for your answer. I do however disagree on some points : - When one pokemon is overcentralizing, it is absolutely normal to ban it ; Dracovish was clearly broken. However, it took some weeks before we could really say, for sure, that it was banworthy. - In the current gen, "many"...

As far as I remember, I wasn't attacking anyone until Pabloaram tried to make a joke (this is how you call it when irony is inappropriate). Passive-agressive responses exist, you know. The cover legendaries ALWAYS start as Uber. This is not the point, and it's a shame that you're trying to...

Apparently, you didn't understand the irony either... If I cannot express what I think, don't call it a "discussion" topic. I fully understand your tiering system ; I never posted anything, but I've been playing and following the news for 10years. The previous generations didn't introduce...

Finchinator, you're a smart man, so don't pretend that Ubers is a thing before Home ! And I do not see any "conspiracies" ; it's the pattern that the council is taking. And before calling a point "nonsense", make sure to understand what I say.

Flutter Mane, Houndog, Palafin, Roaring Moon, Iron Bundle, Goldhengo, Annihilape... at this rate, you'd better start making a new tier, which you could call "OU if smogon knew how to adapt to changes". Perhaps the old pokemons which we used to rely on (Corvi, Chansey, Dragapult aso) do not fit...

Let's ban everything we consider too offensive because we cannot think of a metagame that isn't leaning towards a balance playstyle, otherwise the competitive scene will be dead (look at VGC, the most uncompetitive format there is).

Have you heard of the grammatical notion called "impersonnel we" or "we of majesty" ?
