Ceruledge is incredibly overrated, it gets its cheeks clapped and slapped by common metagame threats such as Lando, Araq, Gl*scor, Dozo, M*la, Woger, Clefeeble, Glimm (well it's not really common anymore), and virtually any mon with SE priority + Raging Neck. It is obscenely reliant on both SD...

Honestly, things like this are why I don't take the "most Pokemon aren't broken by Tera Blast, so that means Tera Blast is fine" argument seriously. This is a pattern. Volc got banned because of TB, Espathra got banned because of TB, Moon got banned because of TB, Kyurem ALMOST got banned...

:Weavile: @ Heavy-Duty Boots Ability: Pressure EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Tera Type: Any Jolly Nature - Triple Axel - Knock Off - Ice Shard - Low Kick Classic Weav set, out speeds and OKOs, and if at full health, it can get Tera + Glared and still have a shot at killing Serp if it doesn’t...

My only question is: how exactly is Weavile still OU when a hard counter to it rose to the tier at the exact same time, in addition the metagame already being extremely hostile towards it (Z*ma, Valiant, Corv, Dozo, Prim, Pult, Dr*gonite, the two elephants, and all the Ch*ice Sc*rf users that...

Check Weavile @ Life Orb Ability: Pressure EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Tera Type: Fire Jolly Nature - Triple Axel - Knock Off - Ice Shard - Low Kick Roughly the same strength as Ch**ce B*nd without getting locked into a move! New and improved Tera type allows you to play switch in mindgames...

Introducing Terapagos into the metagame would be an absolutely cancerous decision. Spinblocking for more than a turn or two would become basically impossible thanks to Dark Pulse combined with its base typing, ability, and potent SpAtk allowing it to easily beat all Ghost types it comes across...

Ting-Lu being weak to anything is basically meaningless given that it's not only impossible to OKO but extremely difficult to 2KO and can nearly always KO something that stays in on it. Ruination being able to be "abused" is a moot point, taking something down to half health for free is always...

Not touching Enjoyability or Competiveness rn because I have been running into a lot of disgusting cheese sets recently and I feel like that might skew my perception. :Kyurem: 2 Kyurem is annoying to deal with but such is the case with any Dragon Dancer and it’s not particularly different from...

Why isn't Iron Treads run as an attacker like Great Tusk even though it has a better typing?

Scizor lives anything with the standard 120HP investment and can kill back with Bullet Punch. It loses if Kyurem has TBlast Fire but I don’t see that very often on Specs sets. Alternately, use fast Knock users in order to dispatch its specs and make it easier to switch into (though it’s usually...

If nearly all of your cited "hard counters" are stallmons and unintuitive balancemons, that's a pretty good sign that something is broken, also, Tera Steel Latios loses to the rare Fire Punch variants M*la is total setup fodder, and can only reliably check Dnite through mashing Scald or Play...

reserving enamorus and skeledirge

Magnezone's actual issue is that it just gets completely skullfucked by the Ground types that rule the tier. Gholdengo (or even Heatran) has better utility as a Air Balloon or Choice Specs/Scarf user which calls into question why you'd even use it at all. Its niche is not only gone, but it is...

Just ran into a Tera Blast Fairy DD EQ + Roost Dragonite. The people who think banning Moon is going to solve the tier have another thing coming. Please dear god suspect this fat son of a bitch already. As a non-stall player, how is this the doomsday of stall?

Check :iron_valiant: @ Focus Sash Ability: Quark Drive EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Tera Type: Poison Jolly Nature - Swords Dance - Close Combat - Knock Off - Poison Jab Hold onto that Focus Sash, then click Poison Jab. They will not see it coming. Then, kill with Close Combat. As long as your...
