For everyone that wants a consistent Team for the reqs: I used a Charizard-Y Team: :Charizard-Mega-Y: :Great Tusk: :Kingambit: :Pawmot: :Glimmora: :Zeraora:

The Main Breaker is Mega Charizard-Y + Scarf Great Tusk which gets an Attack Boost from Sun. Kingambit with AV helps against Special Attackers and can Pursuit trap them. Glimmora for Rocks and T-Spikes but also Hazard Removal. Pawmot and Zeraora have priority attacks which can come in handy late game or against setup sweepers.

Some examples against balanced Teams:

I will vote Do not Ban. I don't think it's overpowered in any sort of way. In Nat Dex there are even more counterplays for Espathra than in Standard OU. At least that's what i am thinking of it right now. I did not face a single Espathra team during the run. I will continue on my Main Account and maybe my opinion changes but for now, Espathra should stayin my opinion.

is espathra overpowered? no
is espathra broken in itself? not even close
is espathra insanely unfun to play against because getting any turn wrong vs that stupid ass bird makes it even harder to deal with? oh yea maybe that's the issue
is tera making espathra even worse because it makes it even harder to deal with, making it get a lot of free turn on incorrect predictions? also yea
should espathra be banned? fuck yes how is that even a question

steal his look:
:azelf: :ceruledge: :nihilego: :dragonite: :kingambit: :scizor-mega:
