My first question is... how do you plan on getting DD on TTar? It isn't a level up move. And I don't think it's a move tutor either... It's one of Larvitar's egg moves, meaning you can't get it back if you erased it.

On Swampert, I'd tell you to get rid of Attract, but I don't know for what. Most of Swampert's good moves are egg moves...

Now that I see your team, I'm beginning to think that EQ would have been much better suited to Metagross than anyone else. EQ is there so you can put a hurt on Steel types, who otherwise resist all of your moves. Normally I'd say EQ>Agility and use a Choice Band... but from what I've been reading it sounds like you already used it on Dragonite.

Is it just me, or do I use "..." WAY too much?

whew, I haven't used it on dragonite. And when you think about it, CBing metagross makes sense, but that cuts out the point of putting explosion in my moveset BTW, you do kind of use "..." a lot, but I don't care

And as for tyranitar, I plan to rebreed, since it has a rather bad nature and obtained it in a trade. To reteach it shadow ball, I have one on my pokemon colosseum.

I don't know about Ariel Ace, because most likely it won't KO a fighting type with just one attack, especially when it comes out the first turn, and with my rotten luck, that usually happens

Well, then you'll need something else to fend off Fighting types, since they can rape Tyranitar without Aerial Ace. Besides, Ttars have horribly high Attack, so with a low attack nature, with 1 IV in Attack, and no Attack EV training, he'd probably still whoop fighting types with AA.

Did you think I posted that other post I made without thinking? I've experienced this kind of thing in the BF: TTar used AA on a Hitmonlee, who has a bad defence and hp, and it was left in the red hp, but it survived the ariel ace. guess what? It OHKO'ed TTar with Brick Break. You are right, it probably will OHKO fighting types, but only with the aid of Dragon Dance. Since that Hitmonlee was went out on the first turn, what else could I do?

Make sure your Tyranitar has good defenses and you could just switch if a fighting type (or a physical sweeper, possibly knowing Brick Break) shows up.

That's Ttar's only real weakness...his speed if a Fighting type shows up.
