offense teams care way way less about chip damage than defensive teams and offense teams have more viable items than defensive teams so item clause hurts defensive teams more
it works in vgc because defensive teams are unviable in other ways there too

ngl that's just a skill issue. if your only out to a sweeper is hoping they don't tera defensively, then either you misplayed or your team just has a horrible matchup into said sweeper. if the sweeper does that without either of those factors, the sweeper itself is the problem. I think tera...
so? hidden power doesn't exist in gen 9. if getting random coverage to blast past its checks is what breaks it, then it'd be balanced without tb in this gen.
idc what the "qualified" "players" say banning tera blast instantly fixes every issue with the metagame. volcarona is balanced without tera blast and gives good tools to every playstyle while generally being a fun pokemon, regieleki without tera blast is a cool building tool that has great...
my take on palafin is 1. I don't see why we even want to bring it back and 2. another great mon that is checked by ogerpon-wellspring and kyurem is not something I want in the tier since those are two of my least favorite mons in the tier currently
fyi tera fairy also flips the raging bolt matchup which is also one of its worse matchups, imo tera fairy is like top 3 palafin teras even w/o tera blast
press dozo wins, but the other dozos don't. waterfall/avalance is dealing like no damage, drain punch heals like 5% every time so you should break before dying. lefties make it much better into dozo as well.
losing lefties is a small price to pay for beating garg and mola, which otherwise would be some of its best counters. raging bolt is a fair point but doesn't fit on everything.
