poor lad, hope to see him rise in the next gen, when tera isnt a thing anymore
>give every other pokemon a tool it cant use well itself
It's so weird that in singles TTar is one of the worse tera users when in VGC it's one of the best candidates for it.
It's not going back to OU unless they re-add pursuit. When it can't trap shit, it can't guarantee a kill. And it's weak as frick to ubiquitous offensive moves.
God I hate the paradox mons. Just more copypaste shit using older designs as a crutch. It’s a shame that these are the “UBs” of this gen, considering the UBs themselves are probably some of the most fun the designers had in years making unconventional looking mons.
tusk being the best mon this gen is a huge blow against ttar >no flutter/bundle to keep tusk in check while making AV ttar viable >if you want a mon weak to tusk, gambit is the choice due to supreme overlord + priority >the top mons like sun more than sandstorm; there's no excadrill this gen >DD ttar can't ohko tusk unless it uses tera flying tera blast, which is a huge compromise
ttar forces you to tera most of the time, which isn't great
Fairy type, loss of pursuit, tera not really being useful for it as opposed to other mons. Outclassed by several other pokemon namely Garganacl. Sand isnt really useful right now. Great tusk royally dicks Ttar. Even in UU Ttar gets destroyed.
We'll know the moment the smogon meta has gone into true shitpost territory when the land genie of healthy meta drops out of OU as well, or even goes to RU due to elephant.
not really, if you want a defensive fire type you can use the crocodile, and Hisuian arcanine hits like a couple of trucks tied together so it's offensively outclassed too
Don't worry, Garchomp will be keeping you company soon.
even if Garchomp drops it will be UU, not RU
Took long enough.
If only Pursuit was still real, or he got Knock Off.
They should just make his megaform permanent
He fricking deserves it. He was us gentwo'ers last hope..
Here you go TTar, a bulky set for your RU adventures
Sand Stream, Brave Nature, 252 HP, 252 Atk, 4 Def, Tera Rock, Leftovers, Curse/Tera Blast/Crunch/Coverage Move, I swear it works bro
they got my bro too
Good. frick weavile.
Chien-Pao's creation was the final "frick you" to Vilegays

fanfic meta
>Smogon
Who cares
Which way do you go white man?
>fanfic meta ruled by a council of troons
>cheater meta played by cheating troons
genning isn't cheating homosexual
yes it read the rules moron
>the moment pokemon lost its soul
You know power creep has gone too far when old top tiers like T-Tar, Gengar, Skarmory, Starmie and more are UU or lower.
He'll be back in OU next gen when they remove terashit

Nah. He managed fine before without Pursuit. It's just terashit and Iron Treads keeping him at bay. Neither of which will be around next gen
ultra beasts managed to pop up outside aloha so its almost a garantee theyll keep shilling paradox mons
Not comparable at all.
Ultra beasts are likeable and original. Paradox are just another regional gimmick based on existing pokemons

paradox mons literally have the UB naming scheme
>Iron Treads
You mean Great Tusk.
What's wrong with TTar? Haven't played competitive since X and Y or omega ruby
It got shown to be a shitmon that relied too heavily on a crutch to actually kill shit.
GF removed several skills it really needed.

Also teraing ttar to the types it wants to run means that it will take damage every turn from its own sand.

I’ll admit I don’t pay much attention to competitive anymore but wasn’t Tyranitar in danger of dropping to UU for basically all of Gen 8?
At least Tyranitar had significant presence.
We'll know the moment the smogon meta has gone into true shitpost territory when the land genie of healthy meta drops out of OU as well, or even goes to RU due to elephant.
What about Arcanine? Can it compete with its Hiss form?
please respond
Arcanine may not instantly die to ground and water compared to the hissy one
not really, if you want a defensive fire type you can use the crocodile, and Hisuian arcanine hits like a couple of trucks tied together so it's offensively outclassed too
ttar isnt even brokein RU either
it's ok tho it'll come back to OU once excadrill returns
Well it's back to UU now. Progress?
