You morons keep bringing up terrastallisation to make a mon viable, but lets be real, it's gonna be banned AND THAT'S UNIRONICALLY A GOOD THING

HP is some Black person shit
Terrastallisation is literally hp but with even more randomness to it
>only one mon on the team can use Hidden Power
>more randomness
And how tf do you guess which one will use it ? Do you think a mon changing its typing, and getting an 80 bp hidden power is less random than one using a 60 bp one while keeping the same typing ?
In vgc and bss it was extremely obvious which mom was gonna be the opponents dynamax sweeper, the z mover, and the mega. Cope harder that you lack basic pattern recognition
>VGC
dont care Black person, your format is literally a frickfest
>VGC is a frickfest
>but a format where a game lasts 1287 turns isn't
>literally 1 in a million match
Ah yes as opposed to playing a format that ends in 5-8 turns on average. Go back to ur helping hand fake out meta troon.
The average Smogon OU match ends in 30 or less turns. >80% of them end in under 45 turns.
GOOD, 40 turns takes just about 10 minutes at best on ladder. thats the ideal lenght of a game.
Even though VGC anon is a gay, he is right. To say why, here is a good replay
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/smogtours-ou-169219
>Star has a Specs Hydreigon
>Destiny has 0 resistances to Dark
>Every time Hydreigon comes in, it can fire off a Dark Pulse since it does a shit ton of damage to everything
For Destiny's team, having Fighting Tera Thundurus or Fairy Tera Slowbro would be the play that would be able to stop Hydreigon from raping his ass.
For Star, he should be able to recognize this and play accordingly.
You're presupposing the opponent already knows the team of the opponent and can just adapt his terastylising to fit the needs of his team. Thats not the case, u pick it prior to the battle.
>You're presupposing the opponent already knows the team of the opponent and can just adapt his terastylising to fit the needs of his team.
Not really.
Destiny can recognize his weakness to Dark spam and can add one or more Tera types that resist Dark.
Star can, with his meta game knowledge, deduce that Slowbro is a likely candidate to Terastallize and that it'll Terastallize into something that would cover its weaknesses.
Almost every Pokemon is going to use a pool of 2-3 different potential Tera types and saying this is "too random" is the equivalent of saying "moves are too random" because you don't know if Volcarona is gonna run Ember or some shit. If Slowbro picks a shit Tera type like Ice and you manage to lose to that, you absolutely deserve that lose or your opponent absolutely deserves that win.
Tera Blast is a waste of a moveslot if you don't Tera. That's why I don't think Smogon will ban it. Carrying more than one Blast user is like carrying more than one mega, except moveslots are way more important than item slots.
A. It's not randomness. You more often can tell which Pokemon will use what Tera types with a few exceptions like Dragapult or Ash Greninja.
B. Even if it was randomness, it's objectively weaker randomness than not being random. It's like complaining about Sirfetch'd using Leek because it's random, when Leek is outclassed by Choice Band most of the time.
If it didn't change the typing of the pokemon and only added a stab, it wouldn't have been a moronic janky mechanic.
Singles are already a joke, banning the gen gimmick again will make it even worse
>Singles are a joke for trying to get rid of RNG shitstained mechanics.
Very nice insight troon, hopefully you will stick to VGC and won't try to poison the waters.
>muh game of skill
It was already quickbanned to AG
I know, i just want it to make my shitmons viable in game (romhacks) that's it
mfw gamefreak deletes hidden power to add stronger hidden power the next gen
If HP is gone, what about Unown???
In Bogus Diamond and Shitty Pearl, only Unown could learn it. Removing HP was such a shitty play on Game Freak's part.
>Fanfic meta bans everything that makes shitmons good
Imagine coping so hard over bss and vgc being the best way to play you actively cry about stuff getting banned on fanfic meta
>Fanfic meta
>Rng bad
The state of fanfic compgays. Imagine complaining about rng in a game with turn based combat
>RNG GOOD
>COMPgayS BAD
why do u care then Black person if competitive isnt your thing ? Go solo that piss easy game with ur starter then leave the game in ur shelf after 20 hours of play while we actually enjoy the core of the game.
Fanfic gays going to on cart meta board and then screeching when they get btfo. Go back to r/eddit
reddit gobbles all these midwit mechanics and praises them, imagine unironically leaving it to GF to balance the game LMAO
RNG is fine if it isn't too much. That's why SSBB is considered by far the worst Smash Bros game.
So you play pokemon for jank mechanics ? no wonder the series has been on a decline for over 3 gens now if you guys are the main demographic.
VGC is the superior format, and when you're good you make money. Smogon is for autistic homosexuals that want another 3 years complaining about stall or flying cats
''VGC iz superior becoz of ze money''
Just say you don't play the game because u gotta be moronic if you play this game without any love for it. (which is my case when it comes to VGC)
Vgc is better because is official
oh you like it when its official ?
You're not even in the game, you homosexualthorn b***h.
Based and correct. Anyone claiming terra is going to make shitmons viable is a moron that doesn't play the game, every unga bunga wallbreaker that gets narrowly checked is going to abuse this.
Smogon cant ban online play.
What I gather from that screenshot is that Ice Tera Types will be in high demand.
