>>54908910I agree that most banned Pokémon would be broken without tera, but
>AnnihilapeAgain, bulky tera is what pushed it over the edge, it lets you tank hits quite easily while keeping your broken stab combo. It's a pretty easy Pokémon to revenge kill otherwise
>EspathraMore debatable but tera might be what pushed it over the edge as well, otherwise samurai of healthy sucker punch fucks it sideways
>BaxcaliburVery strong sweeper/wallbreaker that can fuck over its counters by taking a bulky type. Without tera its forced to keep the 10 bajillion weaknesses Ice has
>VolcaronaThis one 100% got banned because of tera, bug/fire is an absolute dogshit defensive type that always kept it from being broken
All the others are way too fucking good even without tera, in my opinion.
I do honestly think that powercreep is getting out of control on a sidenote. Before even really good Pokémon always had a few shortcomings, take Tyranitard
>amazing coverage>hits like a truck>sets up sand>amazing special bulk>pursuit lolbut
>dogshit speed tier>dogshit defensive type>has to run Stone Miss for its rock stabNow take Flutter Mane
>fast as fuck>specially bulky as fuck>hits like a truck>amazing type>coverage for days>utility moves for days>free stat boost under sunbut
>shit defense that you're only ever gonna get to abuse if you have priority Like how are they gonna 1-up that next gen? Make a Pokémon that can just kill the opposite trainer directly to win the game??
