>We voted to quickban Iron Leaves. This may come as a surprise, but don't worry, it'll be getting retested in the near future - we just have more pressing matters. The short end of this is that Swords Dance with Booster Energy, when backed up by Tera, is just absurdly difficult to find consistent stops to; Salamence can't reliably check it, it blasts through Unaware, and it outspeeds basically everything save for Scarf Pawmot and Booster Jugulis. It's really difficult to revenge kill with priority when using Tera Fire since only Lycanroc-Dusk hits it hard, and its amazing bulk alongside ridiculous power and Speed just sets it over the edge; we do think Iron Leaves has the potential to be fine, but in the interest of tier stability, we're going to put it on the backburner for now. So, Marty or Kris, if you could implement this ban at your nearest convenience, that would be super appreciated. Thank you!
Granted, they're going to retest it later, but /vp/ told me that Iron Leaves would be PU trash.
