Oh look that idiot is back.
Been keeping an eye on this as DLC1 dropped. Been seeing a lot of... Interesting comments here. Thought I'd ring in my two-cents as a garbage player from the outside.
Tera - While I enjoyed Tera as a mechanic pre-DLC1 (and moreso pre-HOME), I'm finding that with a larger and larger selection of mons available to us, that Tera is becoming increasingly problematic. There's a lot more that can effectively weaponize it and it's causing more problems and headaches than is really worth it. While it isn't anywhere near as broken as D/GMax, I think it might be time for it to go. If not soon, then post DLC2 is when it should be tested again (especially with Rainbow Tera coming in.) It was a fun and useful gimmick when the dex selection was limited but now... Probably time to say goodbye.
Ogerpon(s) - I'm not surprised to see multiple Ogerpons being tested. It's kinda wild that they get a 1.2x power boost, a stat boost that works on each switch-in, and an immunity to Knock Off (plus having an amazing move pool.) I haven't personally played with it yet (as I haven't built any teams to slot it onto while trying to find a comfortable Gliscor/Empoleon core to play with) but I've seen it in replays and on opposing IG teams. IG I've had little issues addressing it, but I know that things can be unhealthy without being a problem for some people.
Gliscor (3) - Honestly, I find Gliscor's problem to be Gholdengo. Gholdengo has always had such a strangehold on the hazards metagame since day 1. I looked at it and went "That thing is busted, it's most likely going to get itself banned" -- and I'm not far off with the current talks. Immunity to both Spins and Defog is insanely powerful, leaving only Court Change and Tidy Up (where my Tubesock Furret friendos at?) as hazard control that goes through Ghost/GAG. Gliscor itself I haven't seen as a problem, both using it and going against it. Yes, it has insane utility, and yes it has multiple sets... But if we banned a Pokemon based on that alone, there's so many other Pokemon that should've been hit too. (Which is a really bad take, I know.) I'd rather look at Gholdengo over Gliscor first.
Roaring Moon (3) - This one surprised me. I've never had a lot of success with RM, and it getting Knock Off hasn't changed my views on it. I've ran it on a few teams (mostly Tera Flying Acrobatics DD), and I've never really found that it was an overbearing mon -- the opportunity cost to set up was just never there. The best I could really do is either threaten what's on the board with a Booster: Speed, or get a +1 off DD and take one mon down with it and dent another. That was it.
Gholdengo (4) - See: Gliscor. Dengo is just one wild mon, honestly... and is a major glue for hazard stacking teams. I've ran it a handful of times in Balance with SR or SR + Spikes... Almost never had any Spin/Defog blocks. More often than not I'd wind up using it to stop an incoming status (usually Spore) or bait Garg with Cloak and laugh. But still, this thing does everything and the kitchen sink.
Kingambit (4) - Still think this thing is dumb and wildly unbalanced. Seeing as how Supreme Overlord is only on this mon, and it's what really breaks it (coming from someone who uses AV Gambit damn near religiously when using Gambit at all), Gambit really should go at some point. It's just too dumb.
Ursa Bloodmoon (4) - On paper this thing was... Okay. In practice with using it, it was mid (bulky CM set.) Going against it... Was 50/50. If my team was actually able to respond to it, then it did very little to scare me, but if my team was crippled/RNG was not kind/wasn't set up to handle it, it ran train. (Keeping in mind that I wasn't building to beat it specifically.) Glad that it's gone, big bear belongs in the big house.
Manaphy (2) - Kind of silly with Tera and Take Heart, but otherwise I either haven't seen it, or I've punished it to an extreme degree. Haven't piloted with it yet, maybe some time down the line. Overall, not really much of a thing I pay attention to unless I see it in preview.
Sneasler (2) - This used to be a 4/5 for me. But with Poison Heal Gliscor, Sneasler is now completely F'd. Gliscor absolutely walls the hell out of this thing if it doesn't carry SD. If Gliscor goes, then Tera Ghost Corvi is the next best thing (which then dies to Dire Claw.) Or maybe Tera Ghost Clefable. Overall, checkable.
Other notes: Not much to say aside from MAH BOI AZU GOT SUBPUNCH BACK! LES GOOOO! That was my JAM in BDSP. So much fun to screw around with.
Edit: Thought of a funny.
Gliscor is in court against GameFreak. Gliscor sits at the stand and the prosecutor brings a Gliscor doll to the stand asks them to "Please show us on the doll where they nerfed you."
Gliscor points to the feet on the doll and says "There. They took away my ability to Roost."
