Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
The pro-tera crowd will dismiss all examples as just bad play. I don't like having to guess as to whether or not I can hit my opponent's pokemon with this attack. And yeah, that might be an uncommon example but it's something you have to have in the back of your mind every single game.
That's...
To be fair, I didn't know that poll existed lol. I would be willing to bet the number of those who would prefer a metagame without tera is higher.
E: Higher than the projected number in the poll, that is.
You seem to think my problem is with prediction, that's not true. I started competitive in gen 3 too and prefer metas without team preview, just for the record. Running a different move to deal with a different situation is not the same as having a button that you can press (which doesn't even...

Tera should be banned or at the least kept in its own ladder/metagame. The battle should be determined by your Pokémon and your execution. Tera messes up those things.
Also and this is 100% just my opinion, I think it looks dumb so I’d rather not see Bedazzled Pokémon with flower hats in my...
I don't have much, I just started breeding.
