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.
My bad, there is a third option option being considered/used in the second tera suspect which is banning tera blast.
They can't just continue suspecting something again and again, the thought process in waiting for the indigo disk to suspect tera is that it will be fully complete in it and...
Meowscarda? could you refer me to what 5 viable tera types Meowscarda has? also most viable/top tier teras share no/a weakness(es) with their base typing's, requiring different answers and now that your opponent know you know their tera, and that you could switch out to a answer that checks it...
1. it has been stated multiple times there is not gonna be a separate ladder for suspects because it splits the OU player base needlessly.
2. A vote on whether Tera is revealed to the opponent is a nothing burger and a waste of everyone's time, you might as well suspect test shedinja to see if...
Cool Dynamax is more broken then Terastal, Terastal still unhealthy tho.
Regieleki only gets ice coverage because of Tera (blast), without said ice coverage Eleki would be UU or RU.
Tera Preview is not needed to look at the problems that terastallization causes, nor is it a good solution, the...
Generational mechanics should not be given special treatment purely because it is "part of this generations identity" you could apply that non-point to Dynamax. "But Dynamax was clearly broken" what does that have to do with arbitrary concepts such generational identity, and what does...
Tera is never getting banned, when tera preview gets implemented there will be negligible change that will be enough to make tera "balanced" in the eyes of avid pro-tera's, plus the council loves tera and would absolutely drag their feet when it comes to a third post teraview
Terastallization will get "restricted" by T-Preview and very little will change, then they ban Kingambit, Dragapult, Iron Valient, maybe half a dozen more... It was then revealed that tera was a totally balanced and not broken at all (regieleki was totally broken trust me bro, also last respects...
It is a change, but not as big as you make it out to be, yeah you now know that your opponent's Gambit is tera fairy but should you switch out or attack it, hoping for it to not tera? those are still major questions that remain, while Tera preview is nice, Coinflips are still a plenty and...
I don't know why people think Tera preview is enough when Boltbeam-Eleki, MU Moth, Iron Valiant, Kingambit, and Espathra, don't really rely on the surprise factor and more the the defensive and offensive capabilities of changing your type adding to their kits in major ways that most other...
TB is heavily reliant on you actually Teraing that Pokemon, Which when you have five other Pokemon who could also benefit from Tera it's unlikely you'll Tera the same Pokemon everytime. When not Tera'd TB is legitimately almost completely useless and a waste of a moveslot that could've been used...
Tera Blast is way too much investment for an 80 BP move for it to be worth it. If your looking to counter a weakness Terastallizing defensively and attacking neutrally is enough in most cases. If your looking offensively, Why not terastallize into a type you already have to get Terastab.?
I personally believe tera type should either be banned or not touched at all, people trying to make terastal balanced are missing the spirit of terastal which is the freedom to do whatever the hell you want do with it, and the reason it's so good is the ability to be used by any Pokemon, thus I...
