**March of the Covenant** · 04-13-2008, 07:05 PM

Tyranitar

Type: Rock/Dark
Weaknesses: Fighting (x4), Water, Grass, Ground, Steel, Bug
Resistances: Psychic (immune), Ghost, Dark, Normal, Fire, Poison, Flying
Ability: Sand Stream - Whips up a Sandstorm, very handy, but I'll fill you in on that when it comes to movesets

Shiny Tyranitar looks like this:

March's movesets:

All right, the best part about Tyranitar is Sand Stream, because when Sandstorm is in play, Rock type Pokemon get a 50% Sp. Def. boost, so if you thought Tytar's stats were already Uber, after that, just think.

DD Set:
Nature: Jolly
EVs: 4 HP, 252 Atk., 252 Spd.
Item: Leftovers

Moves:
DD
EQ
Stone Edge
Crunch

Pure win.

Specs Set:
Nature: TImid or Modest
EVs: 4 HP, 252 Sp. Atk., 252 Spd.

Special isn't quite the way to go with T-Tar, but it's usable.

Band/Scarf Tar
Nature: Jolly
EVs: 4 HP, 252 Atk, 252 Spd.
Item: Choice Band/Scarf

Moves:

Yeah, that's T-tar for you.

I always thought he was a dragon type. :\ ~~0/10 for not being a cool badass dragon~~

Uh, 8/10. Simply for cool design. Haven't used him much.

HAND PUPPET!

Yeah, I remember looking all over for a Larvitar back in Gold.

I remember it being worth it.

***Heroine of the Dragon*** · 04-17-2008, 09:38 PM

He's a very CA-UTE Mon!!! 8/10... still not my favourite.

Jeff F · 04-29-2008, 06:13 PM

There is also a mixed version of tyranitar:

TyraniBOAH
Nature: quiet
EVs: 252 HP, 188 Sp.Atk, 68 Spd.
Item: Leftovers

Moves:
Substitute
Focus Punch
Thunderbolt / Ice Beam
Dark Pulse / Crunch

^My question is, why use Speed EVs if you're going to knock down speed with a Quiet nature already?

Jeff F · 05-07-2008, 07:16 AM

The speed EVs is meant to outspeed a weezing before it can will-o-wisp. An alternate EV spread is 252 HP / 64 Atk / 168 SpA / 24 Spe which gives it little more focus punch power but lesser sp.atk and speed which is just enough to outspeed blissey.
