I've said it before and I'll say it again, if you think Tera should be untouched because it's a "generational mechanic" then you better be playing your Gen 5 matches with Wonder Launcher enabled

I personally find it a bit dishonest (and honestly just a complete twisting of logic) that every single example provided of Volc matching up fairly reasonably into the meta and being on par, not exceptionally above, other threats is being handwaved away with a simple "that's broken checks...

These are all reasons Volc isn't that great of a pick on a team, the exact logical fallacy I was addressing, "it's not even that good so we gain nothing from not banning it" is just completely ass backwards Volcarona "not being bulky enough to be used long term for those defensive cases" does...

Banning Volc would be the complete wrong direction for this tier and a huge step back. Volcarona's ability to resist Moonblast and threaten steels such as gambit and Ghold, as well as threaten to burn physical attackers with flame body, and be an offensive wincon, all in one slot, is one that's...

Imagine telling someone what they can and can't post on their own twitter account just because it might lead to a discussion you find annoying on one specific thread on one specific forum. Let the man have fun in peace, I'm sorry that it led to discussion a topic in SV OU Metagame Discussion...

"October had them move up but" LOL do not think you can bury this lede; September was less than 20% of the duration of DLC1, basing your numbers solely off the fresh tier gterrain offense meta where everyone was spamming Hearthflame Bloodmoon and wellspring and responding to said teams with...

How exactly is every single team spamming zap king Lu wellspring ace Ghold "balanced?"

"6-10 bans to fix things is totally reasonable, look at the worst version of this generation for example" DLC1 is not a thing that should be strived for

I find that interesting seeing as neither the complex bans on baton pass nor banning the move full stop despite several healthy users of the move and no real issue being associated with dryassing didn't lead to Kyogre with no water moves in OU or 0IV Zacian freed. Why would banning a move, like...

how about, IronPress skarm, or Kingambit, or the #4 most used Mon in the tier Lando-T Well that's inconsistent - instantly shutting down an attempt to discuss Tera's place in the tier then saying that handpicking counterplay is a "tell tale sign of a problem." Is that not exactly how Tera works?

I personally have played both (some of you seem to have blocked the memory of DLC1 out, I have to say I'm kind of jealous) and would rather play a meta with Volcarona present. Without Volcarona, grassy terrain teams are way too powerful, essentially allowed to exist uncheckable, and are...

i don't agree with what bold school had to say about booster energy but "no one supports it" is just such a lazy way to dismiss a player bringing up issues with the tier, especially when it's used regarding Tera, given the only reason "people don't support" action against Tera is because the...

I get that a lot of early movepools are poorly optimized and not well thought out, but who signed off on Flareon getting Smog at level 57?

I've used lv5 event mew, Jirachi, and the egg Manaphy in platinum runs and they're all excellent, between specs being available and super strong early game performances. Manaphy also is your bulky water at the same time as a super strong special sweeper I agree they shouldn't be in the main...

Pex, Mandibuzz, and Shitter-Therian do not win vs Brokerpon, also stall team slots are so tight and have to count for so much, "can afford to run otherwise mediocre mons" is just not true

"110 base speed is not even fast in gen 9" is another very surface level analysis masquerading as a justification, as you yourself admitted most Pokémon you want on non-HO do not cross this margin and in fact the only Pokémon that do are either very niche (Maushold, Serperior, Torn-T) have...

That's not what 4mss is at all, there is a definition and "has perfect coverage but wants utility too" is not it, it's when a Pokémon can't run all the coverage it needs to succeed, this is not a factor at all, and it's also not 4mss because knock off and play rough tend to serve different...

What is the point of this statement?

Ogerpon-Wellspring is a blight on this meta that has been wreaking havoc since its introduction, our only brief reprieve was while Arch was legal, but ever since it stopped needing Superpower to succeed it's become a huge problem once again. SD 3 attacks with Play Rough is a ludicrous set, as...
