    Metagame Terastallization Tiering Discussion [ UPDATE POST #1293]

    I'm not really sure what you are trying to say. I'm suggesting you select both the type and which pokemon can tera in the teambuilder.

    Metagame Terastallization Tiering Discussion [ UPDATE POST #1293]

    Terastallization in its current state is unbalanced and uncompetitive. I am confident that the discussion from this post will lead to that conclusion if it hasn't already. However, I am also confident in saying the majority of players here enjoy Terastallizing as a mechanic, even ones who...

    To me, singles feels less RNG based, as in, in any given turn, it feels like there is more of an object correct play you can make. Since games are also typically more drawn out, singles just feels like every game is completely in the hands of the better player.

    Scarf Tusk is pretty decent. +SpE Booster Energy was already pretty good on Tusk, and while that comes with the benefit of freely choosing moves, Scarf Tusk is a permanent boost. +SpE Tusk is also one time whereas Scarf Tusk isn't. Really though, the main reason Scarf Tusk worked so well for...

    I really don't understand why it was necessary to give its utility moves negative priority. I didn't even realize it affected Taunt too. Mons have Adaptability, Magic Bounce, Magic Guard and more but it's apparently too powerful to let Toedscruel use Spore on a Sap Sipper Azumarill without any...

    This is just blatantly wrong. In Last Respects case, it seems clear the move is broken and not Houndstone itself. But in order to ban the move instead, we need to prove it is broken first. It may seem obvious, but since Houndstone is the only pokemon that gets access to it, it's impossible to...

    Has anyone found any success with Toedscruel? I've been experimenting with hazard control in all areas so I can build up my thoughts on Gholdengo, and I've come across Toedscruel who just seems so interesting. The problem is partly how mediocre his stats are, but mostly the massive case of 4MSS...

    Pokémon Iron Treads

    I agree. While maybe a bit of an exaggeration, but it feels almost like Lando-T right now. It's not broken or even particularly strong, it just offers so much role compression and opens up so much in teambuilding. It never performs amazing in a game, but there's also never a game where it...

    I think Chi-Yu deserves some time in the tier before it gets banned. Compared to Bundle, who is fast enough that it gets the luxury of choosing between Boots and Specs, Chi-yu is forced to run Scarf (people run specs too but I think Chi-yu's damage is ridiculous enough that it's totally...

    It's important to bring Wild Charge > Thunder Punch imo. It lets you switch in and beat Bulk Up Palafin 1v1.

    That's kind of my point with Orthworm. Yes, you get a slow Shed Tail which means if you are able to get the Shed Tail off, you get a guaranteed sub, but it comes with the trade-offs of being 1-2 times max per game and actually sacrificing health on Orthworm. I find it very difficult to be able...

    I keep seeing everyone shouting for a Shed Tail ban. While there is no doubt in my mind that Shed Tail and Shed Tail alone is what makes Cyclizar broken, if we are to go by the same line of reasoning used in the Houndstone ban (instead of Last Respects), wouldn't we have to discuss Orthworm a...

    Iron Bundle needs to go. I honestly think it should have been quickbanned before Flutter Mane. Water + Freeze Dry is the best two-move coverage option in the game, and it gets STAB on both. It's speed tier (136 compared to Flutter Mane's 135) also means unless you are running Dragapult, you are...
