tyranitar

[Wolfman]

why is he so highly regarded?
i have one on level 55 and he isnt that great

also what other moves does he learn after 55?

[Frostweaver]

Tyranitar is highly regarded because of:

a) sandstream
-kills leftover abusers (which is a BIG BONUS)
-KO shedinja, and flail/reversal abusers auto

b) dragon dance
-all dragon dancers except kingdra and lapras can put an excellent use to it, including t-tar... super high attack already, and with dragon dance he becomes a brutal killer

c) excellent stats
-stats in the ranks of sala, meta and draggy... which is 'very nice' stats... so high def that even a brick break (no STAB) cannot OHKO it.


Most people can't really see the strenght of a POkemon until you meet up against it in battle. Who knows that unmentionable B can be that useful with such low defense? Until you see one in action against one... that is.

[Shinin]

it is so highly regarded because it is really strong and can be used in lots of situations because it can learn a wide range of attacks.

[Eliana]

Yup! i believe that includes fire attacks, ice, and electric!

[Wolfman]

he alright, but he still does get killed easily by a simple surf attack :(
