Stellar Terapagos is broken for sure, but if they hypothetically banned Tera, would normal Terapagos (well, tera Terapagos, you know what I mean) be broken too?

Future proofing. It'll probably be the only form available in future games without terastal.

Reminder that Smogon and by extension Finch's retarded ass didn’t bother waiting until Terapagos’s mechanics were looked at fully before unbanning it. Good thing smogcouncil niggers don't run actual countries or we would've been fucked.

>>55069632
>Adjust to a faggot mon with BST 700, with a literal fuck you Tera mechanic and slightly worse Multiscale. Not using Blissey (Can't consistently wall it) or Skeledirge? Fuck you!
Why are anti-smogfags so retarded? Also tbf I could've saw the ban not happening. Mostly because they would've EASILY used this as a scape goat for why Tera isn't that bad anymore, or something.

I forgot that was a thing. Haven't seen any multi-hit interactions on Terapagos but that's interesting. So I suppose it's only slightly better for that specific interaction.

It also turns any super effective hit into a NVE instead of something just being neutral. Really, the only downside of it compared to Multiscale is that Tinted Lens doesn't care.

The rule is that anything with 600 or less BST starts unbanned. (Terapagos does get 700 BST when Tera'd but since that's a special in-battle form change it's treated the same way as Megas and doesn't count.)

Necrozma and Calyrex for example are also restricted but they have 600 or less BST so were never banned. Zamazenta and Kyurem have over 600 BST so started banned but were tested down.

It's actually neutral on every type, but is super effective if the target is Terastallized. Terapagos also needs to be Terastallized too.

You don't get STAB on it and instead get a x1.2 boost, which isn't that much of a big deal when you have 130 SpA.

They added a ton of Pokemon with BST close to 600, added a bunch of optimized stat spreads, added a bunch of extremely broken signature moves, etc
Powercreep is only going to get worse or else no one will want to use new Pokemon

The games actually embracing and having an official PvP format was bad for the games
