Just a heads up, but I believe something got broken on the USUM overall usage stats - I don't know if there's anything else, but notably, Zygarde is nowhere to be seen (Quick edit, but looking at what's actually being used there and the fact that it's missing, that's just the ORAS usage stats...

- Zamazenta + Shadow Rider will win Worlds - Incineroar will have the highest non-restricted Day 2 usage (and since I think too many will bet on that, I'll make it top 2 and Rillaboom will be the 2nd) - Miraidon will have the 2nd highest Day 2 usage (Shadow Rider 1st, but Day 1 will be the...

For the ORAS VR, it appears there's a mistake one way or another, as it says subranks are ordered alphabetically, but the order from S to A- appears to be by viability. Not sure if viability subranking was dropped and the ranks just weren't changed or if the description is wrong, but I just...

Gamble 1000; if I'm at a loss, gamble 1500 more.

Personally, I don't see the advantage in removing abstain. If the problem is giving out the badge, Tiering Contributor already is the lowest value one - the only benefits it can give are either equal or less than any other badge, and those people already match the requirements to getting the...

Masters has TPCi working very closely on the dialogue section specifically so that the characters are always shown correctly, and there, Red is pretty clearly the number 1 trainer despite everyone from the series being there. In lore, yeah, I would say pretty easily that's who they want to be...

Well, you can call it that, it's still something that just won't apply to Iron Valiant because they're not the same thing. They have the same cost, but they don't have the same effect. Terapagos is still transforming into something different that is not Terapagos-Terastal with a Tera effect...

First, thanks for taking your time to join the discussion! I'm also fundamentally asking for a Pokémon ban, it's just the method of achieving said Pokémon is via Tera, just like a Mega Pokémon is gotten via Mega Evolution. You simply cannot make that argument for Iron Valiant, because Iron...

Sure, but that's why most posts say that a simple "Terapagos-Stellar is banned" already covers everything - it's a Pokémon ban. There's no playing around it, you just can't use that in-battle - if Game Freak somehow decides to make Terapagos-Terastal have access to common Terastalization, that...

I get it some of the points, but I don't think all arguments were adressed properly (and some answers felt out of the context). They can, but they aren't. Nowhere in SM OU's page are the items shown to be banned, and the teambuilder on Showdown doesn't ban the item either. The only thing that...

With the arrival of The Indigo Disk DLC, we got Terapagos, the mascot legendary of this story. Terapagos has three formes: Normal, Terastal, and Stellar. Normal transform into Terastal automatically upon switch in, so it's unplayable, with Terastal essentially acting as the base forme. The way...

Honestly, I'm not a fan of putting Terapagos teraing and every other Pokémon as literally the same thing. Besides the name, what Terapagos does is simply not a universal mechanic. The universal mechanic of Terastalization allows you to choose any of the types available in the game, changes your...

Is there any reason for it considering precedents like Mega Rayquaza Clause and even just Megas in general (as something like Alomomola with Gengarite is allowed on old gens, only the combination of Gengar + Gengarite is banned and even the tiers' page on Smogon only shows Mega Gengar banned)? I...

Just to make sure since there was a talk about it earlier and it commonly comes up in chats about it being a possibility or not, can Terapagos-Stellar be tiered on its own or would it being broken result in Terapagos in general being taken out from OU?
