    Metagame Terastallization Tiering Discussion, Part II [CLOSED FOR DLC]

    That was discussed a few times, in the end its just the thought of: "Well if we can ban terastralization on certain pokemon, maybe we can ban something like multiscale from lugia and it would be fine in ou? and while we are there, ban flutter mane from using a booster energy and shadow ball, ban...

    Okay so if mega lucario isnt deemed broken in the first test because pokemon like mega salamence are around and mega lucario isnt the worst threat or even teamdestroying we should have to live with it being in the tier forever? or an example of current gen: palafin wasnt deemed broken at first...

    I agree, i also can see why you are annoyed by many things said in this thread, however that seemed to be an honest question with no second thoughts, so i wouldve enjoyed an honest simple answer like "if we ban one thing out of the metagame like kingambit, then tera might be less broken and...

    What i hear a lot atm is thinking about how to vote, the problem is that there is a lot of politics in that in the way, that if we just ask on what to do out off all the options (lets say there are five options: no action, ban, tera blast ban, tera preview and tera blast ban + tera preview) and...

    And a gentlemans clause to only tera pokemon who did use a very special item in the beginning of the game isnt possible because? Its basically the same as the clause to not use tera blast imo

    Actually yes, for most pokemon the difference is very much the item they can hold (as i already mentioned in a post before), sure you can still use a great pokemon and tera and lure a threat of the opponent but thats more predictable if you know "okay the IVal has booster so it cant be tera...

    I dont understand what you mean with pseudo game mod, is it a game mod that you can only sleep one opp? Is it a game mod that you cant use volcarona or Annihilape? in a way it is, and thats because we as the community make rules so that we can play the game as competetively as possible, the rule...

    as already mentioned i did a mistake in thinking the tera shards were holdable items and went overboard with the thought of untrick- and unknockability, making it a useless item would be okay too like the mentioned beastball

    Thanks for the actual calm and interesting input on this thought and for the nice words in that case, you successfully managed to position your sweeper in a spot where they can do a lot of damage, that has always been one of the actual skillfull parts of pokemon but you actually needed to do...

    That was a really nice comment, i agree with most of the things you said and still, i feel like saying that you can only tera a pokemon if you didnt have an item on it as the battle started is a good chance, the thought of a terastral-orb was more of a "there are the items that can change...

    The game of pokemon is a game in which we try to make as little as possible just a "matchupwin", because winning by matchup is just not skillfull and we want a game where you have at least the ability to win if you built an over all solid team, if we wanted to play a matchupgame just play a...

    Maybe i dont exactly know the definition for a lure set or i set my bar for the opportunity cost too high but yeah, exactly what you said and i totally agree with you

    I TOTALLY agree wtih you besides one point: if they released megas as normal pokemon they wouldve been able to use an item, that wouldve been stupid, glad there are no mechanics that let you hold an item while giving you the opportunity to change your whole pokemon

    Metagame Terastallization Tiering Discussion, Part II [CLOSED FOR DLC]

    yeah but the meta without tera is somewhat chaotic as well, how could it be not with all the immense threats that came to be and a meta that has complete order is unfun and rarely played so the council will make it so it wont be that way, if it means banning things then so be it tera makes it...

    Metagame Terastallization Tiering Discussion, Part II [CLOSED FOR DLC]

    just like sleep clause alters a game mechanic actually, why isnt sleep over all banned to not alter a game mechanic i do get that it was something done a while ago but we can take the thought to at least think about why tera is broken while megas werent besides of a few exceptions or why...
