I've felt similarly with regards to the two, where I find the Glisc matchup and ability to pivot with a surprisingly strong U-Turn to be quite useful while Weavile usually provides an Ice resist given so many good rock/spikers are weak to it. I am curious what Meows are finding the turns to...

I swear like every other month the same few posters do the same racketeering and doomposting about the tier. Oh no! There's a decline that is almost exactly matched by the same period of time on the SS graph barring a one month jump upwards! So as to not one-line, I'm surprised that Meowscarada...

Let's be real if Gen 9 has a legacy metagame in 2030 Tera will NOT be what people are yapping about. Itll be Kingambit still

Perhaps I should have read literally the three most recent messages before posting mine. I like Tera overall, for the record. It is a skill check but Zam is honestly the most annoying thing for me, with Kyurem as a close second due to just how many dang things that can run. Some are obvious at...

Citation needed on Dark Ghost being a reason for fairy. As far as I'm aware, neither Sableye nor Spiritomb were an issue before gen 6. It seemed more like a direct balancing decision after seeing the dominance of dragons, and to a lesser extent, fighting types in the BW era.

Expert Belt is my preferred item, actually. Knock will force progress regardless but you can utilize its extensive coverage while not being locked or taking Life chip. Being able to Knock a Protecting Glisc and then they stay in on a OHKO Triple Axel feels very very nice

I feel like at the very least Low Kick competes more for the coverage slot than Play Rough. So many other relevant threats either are strong fairies in their own right or have coverage like Oger, while Low Kick let's you act as a Gambit lure and also chunk a lotta big heavy guys like Kyurem...

H-Zoro really seems like a fun mon, especially with that Tera Blast tech. I could see either Nasty Plot 3 attacks or all coverage being decent but you'd basically need boots to stay hidden or removal to use an item like expert belt or a choice item. I've been wanting to experiment with it for a...

This experiment lasted almost exactly 12 hours and I think that's pretty neat. So as to not be an epic one liner, I've been checking the viability threads and am kind of liking the metal bug a lot. Scizor definitely can't do everything, but as a breaker it sure does put a lot of nice things...

Contentious? Perhaps. But in a 55-45 (which is literally the best statistic you have on your side, which is under 54% of unqualified players wanting SOME restriction on tera, rather than an outright ban), the 45 is quite literally not the majority, my brother in christ. I'm pretty sure I even...

Given that even the restriction camp, which is larger than the full ban camp, is not even 50% of qualified responders (and only barely over 50% among unqualified voters), I do not think it is disingenuous or bad faith framing to say the anti tera crowd is, definitionally, a minority right now...

Unironically yes. I've only made it to high ladder like once and then plunged back down so I'm not even saying this as someone particularly good or anything, but it isn't really a secret that action is primarily decided on and carried out by the wills of the qualified playerbase. Suspect targets...

>Vocal minority starts making a bigger racket than usual "GuYs It SeEmS lIkE wE sHoUlD lOoK aT tErA nOw!1!1! LoOk At AlL tHe DiScUsSiOn!" You can't just "no u" the "non tera people should mostly bite the bullet" post. The issue isn't even whether the mechanic is balanced or not but the fact...

I haven't seen it on the smogon page for the mon, so what's the SpDef Corv set? Dunno if the standard one has any speed investment or what kind of nature it goes for.

I should note I am not one of those Gen 4 players, but just referencing that this feels reminiscent of being OU only by people using it extensively on ladder. Meow is... nowhere near as bad as Electivire tho.
