Rillaboom -> Higher Think A- is underselling it a bit. Having priority against the dangerous fast stuff like rain (which is rated pretty highly here), Boulder, Deo-S, Darkrai, Valiant, whatnot is a handy safety net to have. Knock Off and U-turn are useful as always, but a real big point in...

Did you forget to move Palkia to D on the OP?

Sinistcha: D -> C What the fuck is this thing doing in D rank? Sinistcha-Masterpiece @ Heavy-Duty Boots Ability: Heatproof Tera Type: Poison EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 Spe Bold Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Calm Mind - Strength Sap - Shadow Ball - Matcha Gotcha You can improvise on the speed...

has anyone been able to make Garchomp work in this meta? Leads well against Samurott-H but is there anything else lol

"Whether it gets banned or not is up to the community; and no matter the result, the matter will be settled and shelved, and future tiering decisions will have a solid foundation to build upon" For real, what part of this do you not understand? A suspect will have accomplished something if it...

The suspect of Tera happened pre-home during the tier's infancy. And the final vote was 59.25% wanting to take action with a threshold of 60%. Moreover, there was enough support on the recent tiering survey to warrant another look at Tera and create an entire discussion thread devoted to it. So...

The entire point of a suspect test is to come to an agreement on the matter. That's why the whole voting process exists. It's not like a suspect test means that something is going to get banned or not; the point is to settle the matter. And guess what, nobody said we should keep it that way...

I don't really want to argue about Kingambit being broken vs not broken. Because in reality, I don't think we have all the information to make an informed decision. First of all, I think the "we don't want to follow the broken checks broken logic," while true, isn't really a matter of choice in...

Slowking-G should be S (or S- if you want to make that tier with Valiant). Incredible glue mon and the safest means of pivoting with Chilly Reception. Checks Zama, Sneasler, bullshit Iron Valiant and Enamorus (doesn't beat all variants and placement matters, but you can say that about any mon vs...

Checking Valiant is probably a big one, considering how brutal it is rn (I imagine not having the Knock Off weakness makes it a tad more consistent against all variants). It can also stop Sneasler and Zamazenta (and prolly other set up mons like Azumarill or Cresselia w/ Stored Power) due to its...

Landorass-T is the most overrated shit I've seen this generation. Its no longer a Pokemon that checks half the tier like before. Maybe if Garchomp and Landorus-T were more powerful, and threats like Excadrill or Zeraora existed, then it would be a different story, but that isn't the case. That...

Removing things that have an important place in the meta but are potentially busted due to being broken tera abusers can end up causing more collateral damage. Easiest example is Volcarona's preemptive quickban. Iron Valiant is currently running rampant partially because one of its most...

Tera Suspect -> Re-introduce Volc back into the tier because its not broken without Tera -> Iron Valiant has another check now. Problem solved.

Garchomp probably in danger of dropping to UU lmao

Think Volc and Gambit averaged around 3's because people might want to preserve the mons but ban Tera. Taking immediate action against something that is problematic due to some unknown cause (the mons or Tera) would be a mistake. That said, getting a 3 means they should be on the radar

Just going to point out that on the suspect test, the community's vote was pretty close. In fact, the vote resulted in a majority (59.25% wanted to take some action to restrict tera); no action was taken bc the ban threshold was 60%. --- Anyway, 20 Fuck this thing. The most common scenario...

Or retest Tera. We're talking about the broken abusers, but not the mechanic itself. Furthermore, the Tera suspect results ended in with 59.25% of the 346 voters wanting to act on Tera in some way. The cutoff point was 60%, which is really really fucking close. Revisiting it shouldn't be out of...

I disagree with this. A smart player will know the opportune time to bring Orthworm in and use its great defensive profile to pass a free Substitute (therefore, damaging Orthworm enough so it can't sub is often not realistic). A typical scenario is Orthworm -> Roaring Moon. Orthworm will be sent...

After reading this, I noticed that something that all of these things (except Shed Tail) have in common that can make them problematic is Terastalization. Not saying Tera is broken, but that if pushed too far, it might be worth looking at again. Just my two cents. Shed Tail can be as bullshit...
