Thread: Tyranitar Analysis

  1. #41
    My mouse is messed up, so I'll have to type in my comments. I'll hopefully go get a new mouse so I can edit this a bit, but here are my comments:

    For the CB set, Superpower needs to be the main option in the fourth move slot. It hits Fighting types (Terrakion and Scrafty mainly) significantly harder than Aqua Tail or Fire Punch ever will, and it still nails Ferro for some solid damage. CB should also have a bulkier spread as a option, something like 252 HP, 252 Atk 4 SpDef would be the ideal in order to make sure that Sand goes up first against most other weather users (unless you're against a Politoed with 0 spe IVs, but that's a rarity).

    Scarfed set is fine tbh. Ice Beam is more of a niche, and is nice to hit Gliscor switch ins, but with Thundurus gone, there really is no point. I would throw Ice Beam in MAYBE in the additional comments, but that would be the most I would give it.

    A Specially Bulky set HAS to be included in this.
    Tyranitar w/ Leftovers/ Chople Berry
    Ability: Sand Stream
    Nature: Sassy
    EVs: 252 HP; 64 SpAtk; 192 SpDef
    • Stealth Rock
    • Fire Blast
    • Crunch
    • Pursuit/ Ice Beam/ Superpower


    Superpower should mainly be used with Chople Berry to hit some of the main fighting threats (Terrakion and Scrafty, but I'm not too sure T-tar could survive a Banded CC even with Chople Berry). Pursuit and Crunch are the two main options for this set, mainly to trap in Latias, who could handle a Pursuit with some Bulk and try to set up in Tyranitar's face. Ice Beam is mainly for Gliscor, but that's all it hits. Fire Blast is obviously for Ferrothorn, not much else to say there.

    I would also throw in a Tyraniboah into this.

    Tyranitar w/ Leftovers
    Ability: Sand Stream
    Nature: Quiet
    EVs: 252 HP; 64 Atk; 176 SpAtk; 20 Spe
    • Substitute
    • Focus punch
    • Fire Blast/ Ice Beam
    • Crunch

    Sub + Focus Punch nails a ton of things. Fire Blast and Crunch are for coverage. Ice Beam can be used over Fire Blast to hit Gliscor, since Focus Punch will still hurt Ferro a ton. Fire Blast is always the nicer option though.

    So yeah, that's a lot of info....I'll try to help with the editing soon

    Updated again! Here's a list of things we still need for this set:
    -A more in-depth Overview
    -Improved comments for the Choice Scarf and Mixed sets
    -Real comments for the Special Bulky and Tyraniboah sets (I just wrote up quick ones based on Mike's comments)
    -Other Options
    -The teammates section could probably use some work as well.

    Thanks for all the comments guys! Please let me know if I missed anything :)

    First off, DD T-tar definitely is a viable set, but that needs some work. Your EV spread and move options aren't very viable. It should be more like this:

    Tyranitar w/ Life Orb
    Nature: Jolly
    Ability: Sand Stream
    EVs: 4 HP; 252 Atk; 252 Spe
    • Dragon Dance
    • Crunch
    • Stone Edge
    • Earthquake/ Superpower


    The idea of a mixed DDer is good, but the main DDer should be phyiscal. The EV spread is a given, maximizing T-tar's offensive capabilities. Crunch and Stone Edge are necessary as STAB options. The last move is mainly for coverage. Earthquake nails Pokemon that resist the Rock/Dark coverage (mainly Terrakion). Superpower can be used to have a super effective hit on Scrafty and Ferrothorn, but the Attack and Defense drops are very risky, so it's better to have teammates that can handle threats like those.

    A mixed set (if run) would probably have an EV spread of 136 Atk; 128 SpAtk; 244 Spe. The best option would be to replace Fire Blast in where EQ/Superpower are in order to roast Ferro. This spread leaves you more Terrakion weak, which could be a major problem. Ice Beam is nice, but Gliscor doesn't like taking a +1 Stone Edge or Crunch from an offensive T-Tar and Landorus still outspeeds if it's scarfed and OHKOs with a Sand Power boosted EQ. Landorus will still be hit hard by Stone Edge if it's not scarfed, so Ice Beam really is redundant coverage.

    Added in the set in the manner suggested by Mike. Would someone care to comment on why the nature was changed from Rash to Jolly in the revised form of the set?

    It's not Rash. It should be the nature that boosts Speed and lowers Defense. Can't think of it off the top of my head.
