>>56233703Dnite got severely boosted by Tera but it’s probably going to be UU or UUBL in Gen 10 because who knows what’s going to be introduced then. Which brings me to my next point
>>56233712>It adapted to Gen 8 OUAfter a stint in UU. It’s lucky it managed to climb somehow.
TTar suffers from a laughably bad defensive typing, as new Pokémon get introduced each generation, it’s amount of checks increases exponentially, NatDex is a good example of this and I’d argue that Dexcut is now helping it after Exca came back, or else it would only have even more checks. It’s not going to be OU in Gen 10, if it gets lucky it might be UUBL but probably not. Even if you take away the Paradoxes, you still have several new adversaries introduced, from disgusting Earthquake spammers like Ting-Lu and Garg, as well as Earth Powers from Enamorus and Glimmora, brutal Steel STAB from the likes of Kingambit and Gholdengo, Body Press spammers like D*ndozo and Garg (in addition to Corv and Z*mazenta from last gen) fast Low Kicks and U-Turns from C*nderace and Meow, fast Water and Grass stab from Waterpon, Samu-H, and the chimp, the list goes on, it’s not going to survive forever and Gen 10 will only introduce new ways of attacking TTar. Tera uniquely hurt it, sure, but acting like it’s guaranteed to rise to OU when it’s gone is laughable.
