Recommend something for my Tyranitar

[Kaiorga8929]

I'm thinking of training a Tyranitar (it is only a Lv.6 Larvitar), so can someone recommend a set of moves (not DragonDance, because I want to train legally without waiting on FR, LG), where to place EVs, etc. Mine is a nature that boosts speed and lowers attack. :shocked:

[Toothache]

Well, this is my first suggestion ever for a moveset, so here goes...

Tyranitar @ Salac Berry
EV: Speed, Attack, Nature: +Speed - Att
Crunch
Brick Break
HP Psychic/Ghost
Earthquake/Rock Blast?

Not sure if you can get Rock Blast on a T-tar, but there you go.

but I'm not favoring much special attacks on tyranitar, because it's special attack stats are ermm..... very low....

you mean "relatively* low... my clefable is partly a special sweeper with 200 sp.atk... so be happy with all these OU mega high stats.

Without dragon dance, I still think that it's quite useless... and since you got Lavitar (which must require cheats), might as well get dragon dance too.

-_- I didn't get Larvitar by cheat...... Got a female Tyranitar on Colosseum and made an egg in sapphire... I can't say that as cheating -_- Well, someone has any other ideas?

[Toothache]

Man, my T-tar from Colosseum was the only one from the not-so-Elite 4 (as I call the 4 fights before, and including Nascour). Every other one was female :-) Got to wait for a Ditto before I can breed, but oh well.

Remind me where T-tar is actually using a Sp Att based move?

that one who has jolteon/vaporeon/kyogre/ninjask/metagross/tyranitar all on the same team and got beaten up by Shedinja XD

[Toothache]

Hah, they all got beat by Sheddy? LOL

Seriously, I usually have at least 2 counters to Shedinja, cos he is a constant annoyance.

I meant, which of the 4 moves I suggested are actually using T-tar's Special Attack stat? Apart from HP Psychic, they aren't :-p

[Mana Lugia]

Crunch is a special attack ;)

[Toothache]

It is? Strange, the guide I have says Dark moves are based from Attack, not Sp Attack.

[Iveechan]

Dark and Ghost tend to get mixed up when it comes to physical and special stats.

True, but I wouldn't mind. I'm using the Ruby and Sapphire Official Trainer's Guide from Brady Games. I'll even post the ISBN number and you can look at it on Amazon (I assume they have that feature).

ISBN 0-7440-0258-3.

And yes, I know Ghost is based on Attack.

Tyrannitar@Salac Berry
-Aerial Ace
-Earthquake
-Rock Slide
-Fire Blast

Tyrannitar with out Dragon Dance is weird...

[Spike Razzor]

I don't think Tyranitar without Dragon Dance works... Its got amazing status, but because of its horrible type it can get OHKOed by Megahorn or something Fighting. Aerial Ace won't help against Herracross, because its gone before its attacks and something Fighting will Brick Break and its gone. Thats the way I'm seeing it =|...

Tyraitar @ Salac Berry
Aerial Ace
Rockslide
Earthqauke
Sp. Filler (Flamethower/Thunderbolt/Ice Beam)
