I don't buy the idea that most of OU's problems would be solved if they banned Tera. Most of the stuff they banned would still be outrageous even without it.
>Flutter Mane and Iron Bundle are an example of perfect stats, types and moves for the job, they barely even need to run coverage to sweep a team.
>Annihilape is basically the same and can virtually 6-0 entire team archetypes with Rage Punch and Drain Punch.
>Espathra is a snowballing win con that even without Tera is basically only countered by Kingambit by virtue of its type.
>Palafin is basically a cover legend with a trade off that doesn't hold it back at all. As if switching once is problem, especially on something with Flip Turn.
>Chi-Yu and Chien-Pao's abilities make them glass cannons that put things like Deoxys-Attack to shame with good offensive types to boot. Chi-Yu in particular, like above examples, barely even needs coverage and even Chien-Pao gets by with just Sacred Sword
>Baxcalibur is more debatable, but it's undoubtedly one of the best abusers of snow and veil, it sweeps, it wallbreaks, it can't be burned and its reasonably bulky to tank even supereffective hits, and it doesn't need Tera for any of that
>Bloodmoon bypasses just about every weakness regular Ursaluna has. It doesn't need to burn itself, it has near perfect coverage with its ability and it can KO offensive threats with priority even without STAB. Blissey wasn't even a counter, it only stops the all out attacking sets.
>Urshifu was fucking buffed this gen with Swords Dance, and Rapid Strike even got the new item that prevents contact damage. Both forms basically lost any major weakness they had
That leaves us with what, Regieleki and Volcarona?
