I have seen some very bad takes regarding the new mons and old mons buffs, so I am here to bless y'all with the correct opinions.
This mon is for sure broken. Tera is already a stupid mechanic but it becomes exponentially more ridiculous when it has the added effect of mega evolving into zacian. Trailblaze has, up to now, been kind of a meme move, but this mon at +1 outspeeds the entire tier and every relevant scarfer, leaving only lop and unburden sneasler as semi-consistent answers. Keep in mind that lop needs to sac at least 1 mon, assuming it's fake out + quick attack and no prior chip, also needs to be careful about horn leech on the sac. On the other hand unburden sneasler 1. only works once and 2. only fits on ho. Defensively there is nothing that can answer this at base, so it forces a tera dragon on like pex or garg, doesn't help that ivy cudgel is not contact so zap/helmet aren't viable options. We could use this mon as more fuck tera propaganda and somehow if the stars align get another another sus (which I would entirely support) but that's just cope, realistically this mon just has to go asap.
This thing is also probably broken, would need to use/face it a bit more to make a better call, still has like zero defensive answers but spdef boost is waaaaaaaaaaaaaay worse than atk boost bc obviously and u cant use multiple of these things on the same team so this is prob just gonna be firepon 2 once the real one goes.
I've seen ppl compare this thing to garm, calling it "baby garm" or "garm jr" but this thing has viability roughly equivalent to garms pet bird. This is because 1. garm is an ice type, which is at worst a top 3 offensive type, whereas grass is at best bottom 5 and 2. garm has actual coverage but this thing's best coverage is fucking stomping tantrum which is sad, just use firepon. Again, once that goes this thing has a very very small chance of replacing it.
Just use firepon, this thing is a strict downgrade
This thing is prob broken, nothing beats it defensively except for max spdef celesteela or max spdef ironpress corvi, both of which are extremely terrible and corvi can even lose if bloona decides it doesn't want to be weak to fighting. Offensively sure there are a lot of fighters but again it can just decide to resist fighting and ohko them back with blood moon or cm up and sweep depending on the situation. Tera poison is the most common and unless you have a lele it will more than likely claim two kills, if not just sweep.
Lumping these three together bc they are all garbage. The bird is a defensive mon which checks a grand total of zero pokemon, beat up is massive cope just use toxic. As a poison type, the monkey is a strict downgrade to sneasler but it hits pex so like sure but like yeah it's just not worth everything else being so much worse, and as a psychic just use lele. If you're really that thirsty for a psychic/poison type use glowking, that mon actually acomplishes things. The fat monkey is just another mu fish, if you're not using bulk up just use lop or medi or zama or tusk or sneas or urshifu, even as a setup sweeping shitmon just use hisuigant or kommoo.
I should not need to explain why this mon is hot garbo
I've seen alot of ppl talking about how this thing is the next landorus t when it is really not great. Pult being gone leaves exactly one pokemon in the tier weak to pursuit, and it just so happens that it packs a stab make it rain which ttar does not like switchin into, it can also decide it isn't weak to dark. stay in and wall it. Similar story with lele, except choiced sets actually get trapped, so hf doing that until The opposing Tapu Lele surrounded itself with its Z-Power! pops up in the chat or it just clicks moonblast. Ppl also treat it as a yard counter when 1. scorching sands is literally scald and 2. focus blast. If you are that desperate to click funny dark button use weavile.
Grouping these two together bc they are both now excelent water pivots, each with its own distinct advantages. Alomomola is extremely bulky, can wishpass and has regenerator, but is extremely passive and has trouble fitting all of its moves (wish, protect, toxic, flip turn, scald, koff). On the other hand, Empoleon trades some raw bulk, regenerator and the utility of wishpassing for a secondary steel typing, significantly better offensive presence and rocks/defog.
Ik these two aren't new but since I already talked abt a few brokens these two would fit right in. Tera makes dealing with ghold extremely unreasonable and makes it borderline impossible to built fat/stall, please release ghold sus now. Sneasler does not need a sus, just qb it. Unburden is a super broken ability and no mon with it should have an attacking stat higher than base 100, so sneas pulling up with base 130, good offensive typing, solid coverage and a respectable defensive profile is just fuck no, dire claw is just icing on the cake. I am truly baffled that this mon has lasted as long as please at least just sus this thing already.
This concludes my ted talk, remember that if you disagree with any of these takes you are wrong and should be embarrassed
