My guy I literally quoted that post.

In every mechanic iteration except banning just tera blast, we are now giving information that otherwise is not available to the player for a mechanic. If we break down piece by piece what Tera is: All six pokemon innately have access to one type change. (Limiting Tera mons takes apart this...

Yeah it really sucks when one side of the discussion is made by reasonable individuals and the side you stand closer to is the entire fucking circus. Every time someone trying to defend Tera for partial or full remaining, it's like an undercover agent has played Opening Entry of the Gladiators...

Yeah I realized that like 2 days ago. So no it doesn't stop Chi Yu whatsoever. Which basically means TTar, Blissey, or you run a bunch of checks that can tank Chi Yu situationally (so Sylveon + Garganacl). Assault vest huge power azumarill popped up as a potential answer too.

So what's the 'inherent issue with Terastallization' (specifically as it relates to "tera types revealed at team preview")? The guess on the turn they choose to use it? Because there were situations like this in 7 where you would knock off a mon, nothing comes off, and know that had to be a...

But isn't the vein you're arguing initially is that these '50/50s' are in a Tera preview set where you KNOW the tera type? Since this stems from acquiesceyourself's point here: So the '2-4 different potential types' is largely irrelevant. The decision with a tera available to use is Move +...

I would absolutely want a ban before this, as someone who likes Tera. The idea that you give it to be an offensive adaptability mechanic and gut any defensive utility to me is an implementation that funamentally changes viability of archetypes for a complex ban. Now, defensive mons just have to...

So is 'when do i click it' an option you see as uncompetitive? Unpredictability exists inherently in a game where most of your stats are disguised. We can make reasonable assumptions about sets at preview and spreads, the same way you would be able to make a reasonable assumption on when a...

There's gonna be some real walls in this thread we'll have to climb but I just want to throw some short commentary out. I think Tera Blast ban is irrelevant. It solves nothing and also removes a lot of the upside to more non-problematic tera users without really solving what people consider the...

Also the community is a bunch of apes. Signed, the community. Realistically we run quick bans and expect the council to do the heavy lifting early because there's multiple mons that need actions/decisions immediately and a suspect test is a very long process. Imagine if we were in a suspect...

Well, the coding not being resolved is the major reason.

My guy you're 2 bans in after a week. Potentially 4 done by 2, with only 2 pokemon being discluded from OU tiering of the entire pool. This is a pretty liberal approach to tiering OU. Go back to 4chan.

For our people concerned about the fate of all the mons on the radar, I've heard a direct finch quote about each of them: "You are on the council but we do not grant you the seat of OU." RIP Smogon ban all 8 Being honest, right now I think Sylveon is just better as a wisher. If anything, use...

I have tried Toadscruel along with two wish supporters (Sylveon, Fire Tera Vaporeon) and found the exact same thing. Absolutely dumb 4MSS to the point of dehabilitating any possible sets. Mycelium Might is crazy good vs Gholdengo (you can just spore it lmao) but everywhere else its kinda bad...

How is this unique to Gholdengo again? Doesn't literally EVERY ghost type cause this scenario exactly? "Lose the mon, but the hazards are still there". Are we now discussing banning ghosts altogether? Because to be clear, every ghost in tier can do this to every hazard remover except Corv. And...
