Name one (1) thing they did wrong

Exist, Etc.

Nothing, because they didn't do anything at all.

>>31629186

They were four amazing pokemon in a generation full of bad to mediocre ones and were ostracized for this.

Also they were cursed with having the completely superfluous "legendary" label that autists can't stop hating.

Theres only one of them in the game, they are the literal definition of legendary.

>Theres only one of them in the game, they are the literal definition of legendary.
Then explain why Phione is legendary and Silvally isn't. Although if we want to get real technical, Phione along with all other event pokemon + Deoxys aren't actually legendary, they're mythical pokemon.
The Tapus are Guardian Deities.

They gave good Pokemon great abilities, making them overwhelming. It'd be like if they gave Keldeo Drizzle or something.

Plus they didn't introduce any Pokemon/abilities to dissipate terrains.

>>31630004
>>31630045

What are you on about, Type:Null's evolutionary line are legendary.

Look at their Pokedex entry, notice the unusual Green background.

It is the same background color as the Tapus and Ultra Beasts.

Tapus, UBs and Silvally line = sub-legendary

Sub-legendary = legendary pokemon that Game Freak deems balanced enough to be allowed in online play and post-game battle facilities.

Same level as kanto bird trio, johto beast trio, hoenn Regi trio, sinnoh lake trio etc.

>>31630068
Both of these
Auto-set anything is immediately powerful, but having terrains do so much AND be on good Pokemon is way too much

>>31629186
>>31630068
>>31630112

The big caveat of Fairies in gen VI was that it was an overpowered as hell typing, but it was only on Pokemon with shit stats, outside of Xerneas in Ubers. And of course, Xerneas is super powerful.

Notice how when the weather-setting abilities started appearing in gen V and up how they were given mostly to Pokemon who were not very strong. Politoed, Ninetales, Abomasnow and now Torkoal and Pelipper.

I'd say Tyranitar and Hippowdon were the strongest on-their-own weather setters originally, but Sandstorm is more defensive than offensive, (excluding the terrifying Sand Rush Excadrill.)

Giving these kind of powerful match-altering abilities to weaker Pokemon made sense design-wise, it increased the viability of sub-par Pokemon leading to more diversity. Giving an auto-set ability to something already absurdly powerful like Garchomp would just narrow the competitive pool even further.

Which is exactly what happened with the Tapus. Now we have 4 Pokemon with great stats, half Fairy typing and S-tier signature abilities. If you want to play OU, you're now pigeonholed into always having at least one Tapu on your team, as it's either that or auto-lose the terrain war which puts you at a massive disadvantage.

I suspect there will be a "Cloud Nine/Airlock" for terrains in gen VIII, and/or terrains will be nerfed to only boost the type-damage by 1.2-1.3x. What sucks is that terrains are still a cool element for Pokemon besides the Tapus, but it has to be nerfed to nerf the Tapus, which then nerfs the terrain for everyone else, including Pokemon that could have really used it.

>>31630248
>which then nerfs the terrain for everyone else, including Pokemon that could have really used it.
Same problem that happened with Thunder Wave and Confusion.

Thundurus fucked up a lot of shit, better ruin every pokemon that relies on those status.

I still dream of a gen like 3 that rebalances the whole game.

they fucked up on the Thunder Wave nerf, instead of gimping the fully paralyzed BS, they reduced the speed lowering aspect of it, which was the main reason to even use it.

they didnt make a fairy/flying or fairy/ground. Those type combos would have much preferred over psychic, water or grass.

wow an intelligent post on /vp/

>>31630248
Honestly only thing I disagree with is Fairy being unbelievably fundamentally broken. It's about the same level of unbalance as Gen 5 Dragon, not worse, at least not by much.

This is pretty damn spot on though, except GF might horrifically gut Terrains instead of just hitting them.

>>31631133
don't you mean a childish cunt?

Auto-terrain

>>31633145
Auto-Terrain isn't a bad thing, it's that they are the only users of them.

I fucking hate Garchomp

It's the ugliest motherfucker around and they give it stats not only rivaling, but surpassing most legendaries
And I don't mean normal pseudo stats, I mean they minmaxed it to hell

Seriously, I can't stand its design

Well for one, they are mass murderers willing to murder people for no reason.

>>31637142
proofs?

>>31637144
Fini's and Bulu's existance. There's a reason why their islands are wastelands.

Lele deliberately killing people in the war with the scales.

Koko is more subtle about it since it's all but outright stated that Koko lets people die all the time.

>>31637079
>Don't forget, put Choice Scarf on everything. It's the best item okay.
I hate this

>>31637158
> lets people die all the time.

Just because he's super powered doesn't mean he has to save people, bro just wants people to chill and fight him if they're strong enough, all the other tapus are pretty horrible though

>>31629893
Anon, are you an idiot? The problem with "Ughhh, they're legendary" isn't that they're not legendary (I'd say they are), the problem is that it shouldn't matter. Autists have a huge hang-up with using legendary Pokémon for basically no reason.

>>31637180
It's implied that if you didn't have cosmog that he would've let you plummet to your death. That's a pretty shitty thing to do.

Tapu Bulu is gras but his color is red, yellow and black.

>>31635430
My god. I went to the Global Link to fetch the singles ranking where Koko was the most used Pokemon, and then saw that Garchomp took the throne again.

Fuck this dude. I'm so sick of Garchomp, 10 years already.

>>31639425
Well Koko is the King of Doubles though

Can't learn play rough despite bulu clearly playing rough with that walmart.

>>31630248
Steel is, has, and will be more fundamentally broken than anything else in this game. I'd like to see them fix that type before moving on to the new shit.

>>31639845
Didn't they nerf it in Gen VI by making it not resist Dark or Ghost anymore?

>>31639877
A step in the right direction but it's still too little.

All of them except for Tapu Lele are fine and not even that strong.

Tapu Lele is retarded though.

If anything it's just retards still salty about MUH DRAGONS and MUH SCRAFTY

>>31639911
Well then how should Steel be nerfed?

>>31639934
Cut its resistances down to 6 or 7. Add a weakness to an underused offensive type like grass.

>>31640007
What resistances would you cut out? (also why would steel be weak to grass, that doesn't make sense).

>>31640055
Grass was just an example and a lot of them don't make sense. I was thinking normal, bug, and flying. I'd love to say ice but we all know that would only help water.

>>31629893
But unlike the actual legendary Pokemon of the region in the Cosmog line, they're not just a legend. They've been known to interact with the islands they live on during present day. The Cosmog line is a secret with a literal legend written about them beating the shit out of the Tapus.

>>31640137
>literal legend written about them beating the shit out of the Tapus.
Actually it was a stalemate

>>31629186
tapu bulu won't stay in the fucking ball

>>31640108
Flying doesn't need a buff. Flying is a godlike offensive typing that doesn't need to be even better. Have you seen what mons do with actual flying STAB? They turn into absolute molesters.

>>31629186
