Damn, using terrak vs a stall team that isn't even decent and winning, SOOO ban worthy. Also using a bad set on even worse players in a mediocre replay does not mean the set is good. Also add to the fact that you used Diancie really badly and would have lost in any good-high level match
monte. me and klang(iirc) actually agree with yoman on terrak. try it out.choice band terrak 2hkos intimidate skarmory with rocks up. legit only counters are intim hippowdon and levi/regen doublade. and its speed is definitely not lacking.
This. If you're going to use a lack of skill as a reason why someone's argument is invalid, you should provide constructive criticism about what's wrong with their teambuilding and any bad plays they made.
which was the exact same argument(probably) the opponents of swagger ban had.
Sorry, huge misunderstanding. If you read my previous posts, and see my PS logs, you know I am pro-terrak ban. But since he provided a bad replay as evidence for terrak being banned I felt the need to call him out, esp since he's made some questionable arguements in the past. That's all. I didn't mean to insult him too much, but sometimes I go overboard with the banter. I think the sets he demonstrated have some potential but he wasn't really using them properly. I don't mean to call him shitty but really there are extremely questionable plays + seemingly ridiculous reasoning for being pro-ban. At the end of the day it was an idiotic unprofessional post for me to make, and don't worry, I'm not idiotic enough to try to defend myself on that one. My apologies go to you guys lol.
I think everyone agrees chatter is the problem. Monte Cristo ?
I still find it rude, and even your apology still contains hints that I'm not a "top level player" (a "bad replay" and asking that top level play grows) despite my performance in the OM room on a pretty regular basis. The point of that replay isn't the skill, it's that theres a list of common defensive mons entirely unable to deal with terrak. No, that is not my singular argument against terrak, and YOU KNOW THAT as you mention logs, as it basically 2hkos the entire tier depending on LO/band. Before you mention doublade, the single reliable counter to terrak, that's overcentralizing
Lol, you can choose to be offended if you want to be, but you can't really blame me for judging your skill off of what I've seen personally. I'm not going to change my opinion, just how rude I am about it
Good set, but not even salty that's a haxy replay \;-;/. I think you are capable of making a better example, but overall it is a great anti meta mon capable of sweeping offense hard, but I think it might struggle with stall. Also you might want to slash stone edge on one of the slots for strong STAB and overall type coverage.In an effort to steer discussion:

I've been playing AAA a lot more recently, and this has been one of my favorite sets to use. The premise of this set is simple: set up and sweep with +1 / +1 / +2. This set works as an effective late game cleaner thanks to Tyranitar's high power and ability to walk over teams with its boosted Attack stat. With Unburden, Tyranitar reaches the equivalent of a fully invested Pokemon with base 167 Speed, which also means it can outspeed Choice Scarfed Pokemon below 100 Speed and tie with 100 base Speed Pokemon in terms of Speed. The best selling point, in my opinion, to using Curse is the Defense boost and Tyranitar's excellent typing, which prevents it from being revenge killed by BirdSpam teams. Here's a replay of this set in action: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/almostanyability-203369436.
Didn't slash Stone Edge because its accuracy is a real bummer haha. When sweeping late game, missing an attack really sucks, so I didn't even bother n_n.
