Non-standard Tyranitar

[Souless_Heat]

I don't want to use the Dragon Dancing or Sub-punch set on Tyranitar. So does anyone know a set for it besides those?

The only one I know is basically from the set posted in the PotW thingy.

Tyranitar@Leftovers
Nature: ???
Crunch
Rock Slide
Earthquake
Flamethrower

I think Flamethrower could be replaced with Ice Beam and the nature should be a -Spd one, not sure. I just want to try using it as a mixed sweeper and not as a Dragon Dancer or Sub-Puncher

Now I wish Tazzler and F_M were her with their many sets....

 

[metafreak]

u could try
Ice beam
thunderbolt
Rock slide
Substitute

sory if its not good enough.

Tyranitar@Leftovers
Quiet Nature
-Focus Punch/Rock Slide
-Thunderbolt
-Ice Beam
-Crunch/Hidden Power Grass/Fire Blast

Focus Punch works better on NB, but rock slide is good for an attack move to hit special sponges ingame. Boltbeam as you know hits every pokemon bar shedinja, lanturn, and magneton for at least neutral damage and magneton and lanturn get hit hard by focus punch and rock slide ingame. Crunch is a good STAB move and hits claydol, starmie, celebi, and a variety of other psychic pokemon harder than the super effectvive move. For example, celebi gets hit harder by crunch than ice beam even though both are super effectvive. Crunch also has the benefit of hitting ghosts hard, but most of them like gengar have bad defense so Rock Slide takes a big chunk out of them. It also beats Light Screen zapdos. Dusclops you should watch out for, but you shouldn't leave it anyway MOST of the time. (Boah can beat it, but DDtar can't since it has to face focus punch and will-o-wisp, and CBtar COULD beat it I guess with boosted rock slides, but it has to watch out for deadly burns). Hidden Power Grass ****s up swampert, its number one switch in, but its hard to get ingame and swampert shouldn't be an ingame threat and you can switch out tyranitar anyway. Fire Blast beats steels like metagross who could pose problems, hits grasses harder than ice beam, and hits shedinja and magenton who resist boltbeam.

you don't have to worry about shedinja resisting boltbeam on tyranitar, really, sand stream auto-KOs it.

 

[Souless_Heat]

I think I will go with Rock Slide and Crunch.
Your explanation was very detailed and unless there is something better((Which I do doubt now)) I will use this instead.

Oh yes. >_____________>

 

[Souless_Heat]

That would be funny to see. You OHKO a Salamence with Ice Beam, they switch in Shedinja onto Tyranitar and you just killed two pokemon in one turn.

 

[Tazzler]

Except no one would switch shedinja in on tyranitar, let alone use it in OU.

That salamence is a stretch tbh.

 

[WhiteWizard42]

how's it a stretch? sala doesn't OHKO it with EQ, and IB is a sure KO with only a few EVs and a neutral nature.

it's people using sheddy that taxes the imagination.

 

[Tazzler]

Surprising that for salamence is a strecth since DDtar does the samething and no one leaves salamence in on tyranitar if it is not in EQ KO range.

I like this set:

Tyranitar@Leftovers
Adamant Nature
-Thunderbolt
-Earthquake
-Rockslide
-Crunch/Seismic Toss

Since you didn't want Dragon Dance, I gave it Crunch. If you wanted Dragon Dance, change Crunch for Dragon Dance. That's all.

 

[snorlax]

Tyranitar@Focus Band
Hasty Nature
-Dragon Dance
-Thunderbolt
-Counter
-Cut

this is Non-Standard

BOAH

BOAH

BOAH

BOAH

BOAH

BOAH

BOAH

 

[Freakshow]

Tyranitar @ Choice Band
Trait: Sandstream
Adamant Nature (+Atk, - SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Rock Slide
- Aerial Ace
- Iron Tail/Ice Beam/Flamethrower/Thunderbolt/Crunch/Hidden Power [Bug]/Body Slam/Focus Punch

Except I doubt I would use two special attacks with an adamant nature
