EV Training Tyranitar

[Greek God]

Hi guys, basiclly i have a tyranitar and i have NO idea what to EV train it in.

Tyranitar Lv55
Nature: Sassy (Sp.Def+ Speed-)

Attack: 183
Defense: 141
Sp.Atk: 135
SP.Def: 139
Speed: 70

Moveset:

Dragon Dance
Thrash (soon to be earthquake)
Crunch
Rock Slide

I don't think i should EV train it in attack or speed because it's taken care of with dragon dance. Also its Sp.Atk is already maxed out and i dunno, what do you guys think? Also i looked at the main site and went to the pokemon of the week section, i went to Tyranitar and theres no recomendation for EV training or nature for that matter. If my Tyranitar needs change of nature aswell, well i supose i could start again.

Adamant or Jolly nature

seeming as it's in game just use 252 atk / 252 spd / 6 hp

don't neglect stats even if you have a move that can raise them,

1) you can never have too much attack
2) what if something outspeeds you and KO's you because you didn't use speed evs, but you would have outspeeded it and KO'd it if you used speed evs

Just do what Tazzler+Janina suggested, with something else to replace Taunt. I personally use Thunder Wave in place of it, seeing as just about nothing will Taunt you InGame.

You can Taunt Double Teamers ingame, since its quite common

Thanks for the help guys, i EV trained it in speed and got +17 speed in a level up. By the way guys most of you arn't happy about crunch in my moveset, hello? Thats the best dark type move there is in the game plus Tyranitar is a dark type so Crunch gets a boost. Also none of my team have a dark type move so im keeping Crunch, and i need a dark type move for people like agatha. Also I'm probably going to start battling people in real life as soon as i finish training my pokemon.

it's just that rock slide + earthquake covers everything that crunch can hit, and with higher attack and DD it makes crunch pretty useless, even more so with a -satk nature

Tazzler, why 200 Speed? It still takes two Dragon Dances and 198 Speed minimum to outspeed Pokemon with base 130 Speed, so just use 198.

Tyranitar (M) @ Leftovers ** GodzillaRAWR
Trait: Sand Stream
EVs: 44 HP / 252 Atk / 54 Def / 160 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Dragon Dance
- Earthquake
- Rock Slide
- Taunt

That's the Tyranitar I use. Use Aerial Ace or Thunder Wave over Taunt for in-game.

200 = 300 after 1DD

so you outspeed 299 speed mence
