    You're right. Reshiram sucks because other things are better. Lugia sucks because it's shit.

    Metagame np: SV Ubers Stage 2 - Power

    I swear a lot of people saying Miraidon is balanced because of its plethora 'checks' have very little knowledge on Ubers meta aside from the type chart. Miraidon is faster than every single on if its defensive checks (mostly ground and some fairies), and none of them are immune to U-turn. These...

    Dondozo can also handle any version of Pao that's not banded. Magearna can probably eat hit from even Banded Pao

    We could probably retest gambit once Bolt, Gouging fire and Roaring Moon is taken care of. Bolt is no.1 for me, Gouging and Moon could go either way I'm fine with both

    No, it's 80bp. You have no idea what bp means. Its 120 after STAB.

    I hope you're correct, but I don't see a balanced meta happening anytime soon as long as tera is around. But if people are really desperate to keep tera around, might as well give it a try (the mons getting banned in future won't miss tera blast anyway)

    Tera Blast is also a fairly weak move. For Bolt, who is slow, struggles to make good use of it unless it's in a perfect position to use it. Most of the Dark and Fighting types die to Thunderclap anyway, and Dragons get obliterated by Draco. Defensive Tera fairy is good but imo Bolt doesn't...

    Given that Lugia has lost both toxic and thunder wave, it's very vulnerable to status now, and is a tera hog too. If I were to unban anything, Lugia would be my first choice.

    Pecharunt can utilize both offensive and defensive sets, both of which have different counterpart. Pecharunt is a very good pivot which creates momentum for the team. I am not sure if it's better, or even as good as Pex though.

    Focus Sash for Glimmora reminds me of Focus Sash Marshadow in Ubers. Can't believe people are using focus Sash using non-leads as argument for check in a hazard heavy meta.

    I completely agree that Booster Energy ban would be a massive overcorrection. Booster Energy helps at most 3-4 paradox mons consistently. It's not even used by most of the paradox mons, let alone being broken. The most problematic booster energy user is Roaring Moon, so we should be suspect...

    Regarding Terablast ban, is there proof that Terablast is inherently broken and make a lot of mediocre pokemon super good? Volcarona is the best abuser of the mechanic, for sure, but most other pokemon aren't as broken with it, and many don't even want to run it. If Terablast was broken like...

    Idk what you're talking about. Archaludon is a steel type and takes 6% from stealth rock. As for spikes, being able to prevent being OHKO by a special attack due to having AV is better than any potential chip without HDB

    One interesting thing about Archaludon is how it hard it punishes misplays of the opponent. There is very little margin of error; it's hard to come back if Arch has been given even one free turn to use Electro Shot properly in the rain. If Arch's special attack is +2, it's very often the end of...
