gen 9 really has so much potential for one-pokemon metagames just bc of tera types. instantly you have 18 different ways to build sets before you even get to moves and team strats. even if most of them suck theres still so much really cool potential
@@monsterman2.0yt6I feel like a Smeargle only metagame would probably demand an extremely aggressive banlist in order to not have several game breaking sets at any given time. It just gets access to too many good options, in the form of nearly every single signature move. Like, even if moody and baton pass are banned, I’m just imagining slow Shed Tail Smeargle into Tera Ghost / Technician / Belly Drum / Extreme speed / Sucker Punch / Jet Punch etc. I can’t think of a reliable way to counter that. I think Pokémon like Furret that have many excellent options, but not all the best options, are probably the best choice for a metagame like this anyway
@@patroka Honestly yeah that probably would be a nightmare to balance but hear me out I got a better idea. Imagine a Ditto only meta game a meta where you have to wait 10 turns to actually attack every game. Truly a peak idea.
Dunno bout the Hyper Beam/ Giga Impact slander. Getting a fast nuke of at the endgame that does more dmg than brickbreak/ Focus blast without a miss chance seems pretty nice as an emergency. Also Hi Zane -FISH
They have a 10% miss chance, but yeah it's not useless I don't think. But if you get the kill they're gonna set up a tidy up and if you don't well you're just screwed. And plus the funny opportunity cost
Tera Electric is for more advanced Furreters, most wouldn't understand
@@jimothycool it was a crazy play at the tournament, most of these have some potential through raw surprise factor
as the user of tera electric furret in the second game i just made it up lol
Furret must pass into the afterlife to achieve ultimate power, this is so sad

This kind makes me want a Smeargle only meta-game.

@@patroka smeargle metagame could be cool if you could only have one of each move on a team
I think furret is cool and cute and should perhaps get a lil kiss on the forehead and a hug
To be honest I would watch more of this format
There may be more coming...
finally people are talking about a format that actually matters

Yes! It's so good

@@Zanedotmidi better a tidy up than a an omniboost from all the baton passing
@@ng2pt_Amri idk the exact calcs but if they're coiled enough, they'll live a giga impact
bro didnt even mention tera steel coil iron tail
This is technically a strategy, an incredibly funny one at that
Don’t get caught lacking, tera ghosts is truly the best
It's a fact, as much as you hope for other teras to be better :(
Poison for the win
Tera stellar is bad
In the context of most tiers, yes, but I think it can actually be pretty effective here, given how much a Tera Ghost or Tera Fairy can screw you over
Furret enjoyers?
