Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
I understand what you are saying and I think this is a thoughtful analysis of the issue and potential impact, so thank you.
BUT, can you please provide a definition of "Cheese" and of "Honest", because it seems like you and others are ascribing some degree of morality to these terms, with one...
If Darkrai had Spore, there wouldn't even be a discussion here on what the issue is...
At 60% accuracy, I don't think darkrai rolling the dice w/ Hypnosis is a problem, and there are still ways of dealing with it at +2 in the tier. Not an issue to me.
Similarly, Encore Iron Valiant gives...
What is the "problem", exactly? Can someone define what collectively we are trying to solve for?
As was laid out in the original post prompting this discussing, I see the following points:
Like what? Amoongus? Breloom? Brute Bonnet? Hypnosis Valiant? Is this really a sleep problem or a Darkrai...
lmao this just smells like sour grapes
Did someone lose a tournament game or something where the opponent hit hypnosis?
This is the same as when you beat your scrub little brother in Mario kart and then they whine about things being "cheap" or "unfair" b/c they can't cope with the L.

I've played around with the team some more and there are a few optimizations.
1. :Raging Bolt: should be Tera Fairy. This makes opposing dragon matchups much easier.
2. :Great Tusk: can also use a Bulk Up set which can make match-ups vs offense much easier. It won't give as many free turns as...

Choice Item Triple Dinosaur Sun is the most fun I've had in this silly game in a long time. I'm blindly clicking buttons and for some reason almost at 1900. There's...
I appreciate all the thoughts!
The Garchomp is definitely a bit tongue-in-cheek to keep with the original team-building method; I agree with the lack of hazard control options, though in practice, the team plays very aggressively and tends to not worry about accrued hazard damage against all...

Overview
I will keep it quick. This is a Rain offense team that keeps up unrelenting pressure with lots of fast, powerful threats. It utilizes the cool...
Seems like there is both a bunch of really fat stuff and really strong stuff that get to exist simultaneously because of terastallization. :Ting-Lu: and :Roaring Moon: are both heinous stat piles on either side of this coin, respectively. I think tera is an interesting game mechanic and quite...
Here are some funny replays I got using this team. EeveeWillEatYou Archaludon behind screens is a BEAST!
