Realistically, how will Game Freak nerf them?

By introducing a stronger set of sub-legends in gen 8.

Steel/poison types with an ability that gives them all the benefits of any terrain on the field.

Realistically, this >>32792645

They could also just nerf the boost the terrains give to the STABs of each tapu, from, say, 50% (current) to 20% (more balanced), and also fix misty terrain so that it boosts fairy moves for fini. After nerfing the -ate abilities from 30% to 20%, you'd think they could do the same here, but I doubt it.

Exactly this. Game Freak don't really understand balance for competitive play- out of 820 Pokémon, about 10 of them are viable at the top level, that should tell you all you need to know.

They do, however, understand power creep. "Woah, this Pokémon is even stronger than [Older Pokémon]!" is also a good marketing ploy. The downside is it makes a lot of older Pokémon totally unusable.

He's worng about their being ONLY 10 viable mons, but you can't sit there and say that GF knows the first thing about balance in a competitive aspect.

There are way more than 10 good Pokemon, if you think otherwise you probably don't even play much. GF does understand balance of the game, if anything holds Pokemon's competitive balance back, it's that Pokemon can't be designed specifically for PvP because it may interrupt the casual/single player portions of the game.

they wont
instead theyll give them access to tutor moves like earth power and knock off
and also mega forms because why not
you see, "balance" means "fuck non-legendaries"
soon all games will be a mix of tapu, ub and genie, nothing else, thats what the playerbase wants because thats all they ever pick for their teams, the logic is foolproof

Short of making Terrains only last while they are on the field I don't see a realistic manner. Gamefreak never removes stuff from the movepool and never changes BST. The Tapus are here to stay.

You never know. There are people who actually think there's only a handful of viable Pokemon just because of things like VGC 2015 worlds where top 8 all had similar teams

Terrains no longer boosts/reduces damage from a specific type (RIP Tapu Bulu, I don't know if that will affect Koko Loko and Lele Kele)

Why should they get nerfed? They're too reliant on their Terrains to be worthwhile. They're proabbly less OP than Garchomp, who is insanely good without a busted ability.

They'll make Terrains last 4 turns when Gen 8 comes around
Also we'll get a steel legendary trio (non-uber) that will have base 590 stats and stupid abilities that will fuck up OU even more. Tapu Bulu will then get banished to BL hell and Koko and Fini will be teetering on the edge of OU.
