Forgot about this thread for a while. Thanks for the positive comments. For a couple of the issues that were brought up, Torment Tran does destroy the team for sure. Thankfully it's pretty rare. Hippo is less of an issue than it would seem, as basically every set is a free ticket in for...

This is just wrong. Yes in your scenario it's more certain what will happen, but if it went from 10/20/30 -> 20/40/60 (i.e. the actual numbers in the game), it has increased the uncertainty of the outcome of the turn. I don't think serene grace is a thing that should be banned, but it absolutely...

Claiming gold brave, bronze ability and silver knowledge. Don't really have anything that interesting to share other than I spammed water moves because I noticed average number of resists on ladder was like 0.8 mons. I did have to peg the last game to get to #2 from #4 on a speed tie, so that...

This is my first RMT since all the way when DPP OU was the current format, so please go easy on me for any bad or weird formatting. Just to get it out of the way, here is rating proof, with the disclaimer that this was achieved back in November last year. I've played the team a bit more since...

Swampert has fantastic defensive typing and doesn't have that great bulk without investment. Annihilape is the same statwise, and it's typing is much worse. It can be fast or really bulky but not both. It's drain punch is also not immediately threatening if it tries to go somewhat fast with some...

Unfortunately (or probably actually fortunately) hits to sub don't boost rage fist power. If they did annihilape would probably be running a sub set already.

In my experience everything other than hyperoffense feels pretty bad at the moment. People have had success with other styles but you really need to play much better than your opponent in any given game to win.

Dragonite has a lot of good traits that Lucario lacks, even though Lucario has a stronger espeed after 1 SD. Multiscale is insane when you're passed a sub, and with its natural bulk and resistance laden typing, it has such an easy time setting up. Not to mention tera often letting it turn moves...

Has anyone else tried out av Roaring Moon? I've been trying it out on sun and it's been pretty nice. Easily the best Chi-Yu switch in I've played with, which had been a problem for a team giving it a 1.5 boost (though if you get burned it does suck a lot). Roaring Moon often lets you get back...

Back briefly one more time to appologise for general conduct after cooling down a bit. I also want to restate a bit what I mean when I say arguments to keep it are subjective. I'm not saying there are no real arguments for keeping tera. I am saying that I do not believe I can convince people who...

Thanks for posting actual arguments. Novelty is not a reason to keep something. It can be nice but it's not a reason to not ban it. This is a very short statement dedicated to the biggest issues with the mechanic. But fair enough that's not your point to make, but I do want to highlight how...

Everything for keeping tera is subjective. That's just how it is. There doesn't really need to be a reason to keep it. Because keeping it would be the default state of the game. People need to give reasons to ban it. The only thing that's arguably not subjective is that is technically...

Well there's a few reasons. But mostly it boils down to I've seen all this before, a lot. This absolutely happens very frequently. I play a lot of multiplayer games, and I see the same patterns in many ban discussions. Whether it's Pokemon, fighting games, or card games. Every time there's a...

I can't wait for the people saying we need more data saying that we can't change it now because it's too integral once we do have data. Happens literally every time.

Slither wing loves sun. The boost makes its first impression truely insane. It's also not bad at switching into ground moves.
