Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Might sound absolutely insane, but what if we made a separate tier where tera is banned? Players could ladder there for a week or two, and we could unban a few things like Gouging Fire, regieleki, volcarona and maybe ogerpon-fire to see how the meta shapes up without tera.
Then, a suspect...
Is there anything the council has on their minds regarding bans ? ( Looks accusingly at kinggambit)
I'd also like to know your opinion on offensive tornadus-therian with Nasty Plot and it's potential viability in the current meta-game.
(Great longevity, speed tier and coverage)
Nominating to B+ from C+
Garchomp has had a huge dropoff from the level of usage in had in old generations, however this doesn't mean it deserves to be in a tier as low as C+. Garchomp is one of the most versatile mons in this gen, having the ability to be a sweeper, a mixed attack threat or...

Why do people think sneasler is banworthy? In the current metagame, the most broken mons by far are cocaine bear and magearna. [Honorable mention chien pao,zamas] Sure sneasler may be uncompetitive but there is a fine line between uncompetitive and banworthy. Hell, heatran was uncompetitive last...
Mag is actually still decent in this meta, treads doesn't get too much usage anymore, its more specs analytic which is good compared to the magnet pull set cause with tera steel you can 2hko clod with flash cannon. Also you have to consider the fact that nothing except for tera ground blissey...

Why are people talking about espathra being broken?It certainly has decent counterplay. Something which doesn't is this mf iron valiant.
