TTar is the only reason Gen 3 is not as stall-centred as Gen 2. Well, TTar and Spikes being 3 layers now. TSS basically killed any viability stall had in Gen 3 and kept the meta more focused on offense/balance.
TTar also traps otherwise heinous threats like Lati@s, Alakazam, Gengar, Blacephalon, Azelf, and Mew that would all be teetering on the edge of Ubers without Pursuit trapping around. Dragapult would've been a lot more manageable in Gen 8 and 9 if TTar still had Pursuit since you could reliably check the fucker. Because TTar doesn't have Pursuit anymore, the only way to deal with Pult is to either run Wigglytuff or layer on a bunch of psuedo-checks and hope you cover whatever set Pult is running.
GF releasing Dragapult the generation they removed Pursuit should be grounds for them all being turned into castratii. That's more heinous than the dexcut.
