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.
While I can understand the arguments for a ban I don't think the points made are strong enough to constitute banning the mechanic rather than problematic abusers. Voting no ban for this
The negative point when you play on a not-very-active ladder is that you come across guys you have already beaten who modify their team only to counter you
Very late to the party, I think tera should not be banned.
I think tera is a very fun mechanic, it enables so many teams to become more viable, getting better typing on the support like zygarde to cover the weakness of the team. In battle, it's just more mechanics to play mind game with your opponent and I'm all for it. At most you lose one mon from the tera's sudden switch up (and I think it would be mostly the player's fault for not anticipating the possible tera) & have to deal with a mon with a different typing. Rarely would tera be victory deciding. I think learning to use tera on your own mons at the right time and anticipating opponent's tera types should be learned, this makes the game be more dynamic.
It's my first time trying to say something intelligent on a forum. AHHHH! Did I do good?
I was so close, cta. If my Yveltal didn't get para stunned right in front of your spectral thieving zygarde, it would have been game, I would have ripped a hole right through your team. I could have had a 25 win streak, NOOOOOOO D: https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9nationaldexbh-1819484739
