The one they should never have taken from us Bring back National Dex Balanced Hackmons.

I was a little indecisive, so I got you three Boomburst buttons BoingK. :Kyurem-White: :Terapagos-Stellar: :Zacian-Crowned: :Arceus-Ghost: :Steelix-mega: :Zygarde-Complete: :Diancie-Mega: :Steelix-Mega: :Mewtwo-mega-y: :Arceus-Water: :Kyogre-primal: :Zygarde-Complete: :Terapagos-Stellar...

Can 4-2 even reasonably be called semi stall? That's bulky balance at best, especially considering a lot of those 2 offensive pieces have the tendency to be really squishy, often unable to take two hits even from defensive mons. such as Diancie folding like laundry to Regenvest steelix if it...

Electrify affects all moves regardless of type, while Plasma Fists only affects normal type moves. This lets fast mons with volt absorb or lightning rod farm any defensive or slower offensive pokemon for health or setup and rendering them helpless.

Terastallization: Ban

If we're gonna lose NDBH, can we at least get gen 7 BH as a retro OM as consolation? I've looked at and played a bit of SVBH, and while I imagine plenty of people like it (although the decline in playerbase might be telling), it's not for me, and I'm 99% sure I'm not alone in this. Also, given...

Nah, just tera really. Let it tera out of a weakness, then trap and remove offensive mons which forced a really passive style of play as you'd pivot around trying to bait tera.

Gigaton ohkos most bulky mons that aren't fur coat, while sunsteel tears through fur coat. The value of removing the check to your special attacker with gigaton to let that mon go for the win can be very valuable

This run was suffering. Between losing gxe for winning, the ladder being so dead I had people counterteaming me, and my inability to win speedties made me feel some type of way. More on topic, definitely voting ban, while I did enjoy clicking tera steel gigaton hammer for free wins, it is just...

No. 1 is 1700 yeah, but there's a pretty steep drop afterward, 10 is 1600 and 30 is roughly 1500, 1400 is still above average. Groundceus can't trap impdino because of parting shot, and Audino excels at scouting choice sets, which Zac is, with spiky shield. If they just let their imp die to...

Dozo is one of the few mons that can handle choice band tinted lens zacian right now, so I'm loathe to change it. It's still one of the most reliable walls. Ho-oh struggles with almost every Zac set, and it's the most common Mon in the tier, especially because it needs heavy duty boots to live...

Because we don't have any sample teams that are post zygarde ban legal, I figure I'll go an submit mine. A to Z bulky balance :arceus-ground: :audino-mega: :dondozo: :giratina: :mewtwo-mega-y: :zacian-crowned:

One of the main things is what people call improofing. One of the most meta defining pieces is Imposter Chansey, which becomes your mon with your stats on switchin, but with chansey's base 250hp instead of whatever your mon has. Additionally, it can still use eviolite to get +1 Def and Spdef...

Scathing. I like it. I was probably one of the most vocal defenders of tera leading up to the first suspect, although over the course of the tests, I found that tera was really the problem, not on the ladder, but in this exact kind of snowball effect. I ended up voting Ban. At this point, I'd...

My opinion's pretty similar to yours, tbh. We've been finding over and over that that best abusers of tera are just the best pokemon, as tera's main use is check removal, which allows them to go from strong to overcentralizing/unbeatable.

With Mold, Block is probably better for trapping, since it ignores covert cloak, but the issue is more with the perish trap strategy having a lot of very common counterplay, than an issue with the specific set. Although Eternabeam is very exploitable, and I'd never use it. With the one turn...

Perish trap kinda gets rocked by any ghost types, pivot moves, phasing, or offensive threats that can break through the mon in 2 turns, which most offensive ones can. It's not the worst strat in the world, but it is very gimmicky and very unreliable.

Pdon - Already strong when forced to run desoland+red orb, imagine Band + Opulse Mray - Deo-a is one of the strongest attackers, but is limited by it's crippling fragility. Mray has the same attacking stats but with bulk Cramorant-G - Paralyzes you every time you attack it. If you thought...
