Does anyone else think that Good As Gold shutting down a massive chunk of possible moves is a little over-the-top? The Steel type was banned for similar reasons iirc, so I don't see why the same couldn't be applied to GAG.

‖ː‖`i like cryogonal, so here's an aaa team with it. might not be very good, but it works for me`‖ː‖ https://pokepast.es/1fe24bdda273838f

‖ː‖`if you wanna hit steel-types with cryogonal, you can just use tera ground. also, you generally don't wanna put abomasnow 'n' cryogonal on the same team, 'cause two ice-types which're both kinda shit will drastically decrease the team's power-level 'n' make it much weaker overall`‖ː‖

‖ː‖`cryogonal's way better-off attacking than abomasnow, it's way faster with a slightly better offensive stat. abomasnow only needing the one turn to set-up veil makes it better in the role, not to mention that you're then not stacking weaknesses`‖ː‖

‖ː‖`at that point you already have abomasnow on the team, you might as well use it for veil`‖ː‖

‖ː‖`cryogonal is not a superior setter. yes, it's faster 'n' more specially bulky, but requiring two turns rather than one to set-up veil is a massive hindrance. cryogonal is best used as either a fast spinner 'n' special wall or offensively with specs. i do agree that flash cannon fucking sucks...

‖ː‖`I think that Terastalisation is just unhealthy for the meta-game due to it forcing what are essentially guessing-games as you're playing. I feel that it can be illustrated fairly well with an example. Let's say that the opponent has a Skeledirge on the field, 'n' you need it gone to set-up...

‖ː‖`As someone who has used Cryogonal extensively in other formats, Flash Canon is really unnecessary. The only thing it really hits is other Ice-types, 'n' those either OHKO or do nothing to Cryogonal, and Tera Blast works fine to hit the ones that aren't threatening already. If you're going to...

‖ː‖`I think that banning Tera Blast is entirely pointless 'cause the most broken abusers o' the mechanic don't run it to begin with. I also don't think that Tera Type should be shown in team-preview since that's not a feature within the game itself, so it would be an unfaithful addition to the...

‖ː‖`After Girafarig 'n' Flittle inevitably get looked at for potential bans, I think that it might be worth taking a look at Light Clay, since Screens have proven to be extremely powerful so far.`‖ː‖

‖ː‖`Given that Dragapult was banned from NatDex last gen for Ghostium Z making its Physical set oppressive, it'll certainly be interesting to see what Tera Blast does for it in Gen nine`.‖ː‖

I made a team centred around Octillery, hopefully it doesn't suck: https://pokepast.es/f63df758ea7aaf01

It's a team, the team that I use. Featuring Alolan Marowak, scarfed Heatran, and a Cryogonal that outspeeds Garchomp and 1v1s Volcarona at full health. Maybe someone who's an actually competent battler will be able to do something with it. https://pokepast.es/bf59c7253d9213e2
