>>53221040Espathra after 1 protect and 1 Calm Mind has a 100 base power Psychic-type STAB attack, outspeeds everything except for scarf Dragapult, and hits hard enough to blow up most offensive Pokemon in a single hit, and has only 1 or 2 counters for each of its Tera types.
Its most common checks for each Tera type are
>Fire: Roaring Moon, Greninja>Fairy: Gholdengo, Corviknight>Fighting: Gholdengo, Hatterene>Dark: Roaring Moon, Greninja, Grimmsnarl, Kingambit, Ting-Lu>Ground: Corviknight, MeowscaradaCorv and Ghold are your safest bets, but even then there is a high likelihood that Espathra annihilates your "check" by having an unpredictable Tera Type. If the pro-tera fags didn't win the last suspect, we would've gotten a Tera Type Preview clause and Espathra wouldn't have needed to be banned. However, since Tera is unchanged, Espathra had to go.
