Minotaur Pokémon ? Steel/Fighting type, high physical stats, low special, ok speed. Some sort of signature move that's steel type and the Mon uses a weapon in it. Or a Cyberdemon inspired Mon, Minotaur body but has a gun. So high special stat, cut down on the speed and maybe make it full tank but limited movepool.

Fr, aside from the typing, everything is good (although the movepool could use some new tools at this point). And even then, the rock/dark is only bad on paper since it helps ttar take on specific threats that other things can't. I remember it being one of the few reliable COUNTERS to SD Talonflame in gen 6 and Blacephalon and Naganadel in gen 7.
It's more like 159 Base Sp.Def without investments, about 174 Base Sp.Def if you use max-max investments - since you multiply the actual stat rather than the base stat
@@josesalgado2796 Nah, Tyranitar needs to be thicc. The great thing about Ttar is that it has trash typing, but it still remains a good Mon and is actually really cool looking. With it you style on opponents. Skinny Ttar is unacceptable
Thanks very much for including the "good teammate" section at the end :D, highly appreciated i am learning a lot from your vids and i appreciate the effort you put in
I have been using scarf tar for a wile now and it usually takes like 3 pokemon down a game, I recommend giving it fire blast for steels and that extra push on tangrowth and breloom. If your using fire blast you might want dump a little bit more is special attack
Oh yessir, been looking forward to this mon! Ive always loved ttar but the boi is forever goated since slapping a scarf on him vs Lando T in draft league and one-banging it with Ice Punch, absolutely exploding the discord.
@@karroeschter The number of weaknesses don't matter that much when you eat hits from almost anything anyway and hit back hard. Obvi not talking about physical fighting moves. Those will hurt
@@karroeschter He does but it all depends on the way you use him. And his nature and stats. Just give him the vitamin supplements to spike up his stat base and he will be a good tank in pvp battles.
Tytar is the demonstration that you don't need to be a dragon to be one of the coolest and strongest mon in the history, even with a not good defensive typing it's amazing
Most of the time you cover just about any item, spread move so on and so forth i can usually think of. However this time around suprised you didn't mention curse Ttar considering the pokemon it's fighting unlike in sword and shield wouldn't stand much of a chance against it depending on what they have and the coverage. A defensive spread either into HP and Defense or HP Special Defense with the last point in the other works really well with either leftovers and or smooth rock. Also another two moves nobody seems to talk about that work especially well on curse Ttar cause of the slowing are avalanche and assurance. Avalanche is better for coverage but assurance is hilarious with a couple curses up honestly the only move it doesn't get that i wish it did was knock off. Suprised it doesn't have it considering its typing theme and obvious synergy.
Idk how well curse Ttar would fair with Pokémon like ape, scizor, breloom, lucario etc running around especially with ttar having no reliable recovery.
I always found +252 ATK +252 DEF +4 SP DEF with an assault vest and careful nature was ridiculously amazing if you run unburden baton pass drifblim. Very situational ik but honestly one of the best combos/set ups for a tank sweeper ttar. Idk what it is but I just feel good tanking a bunch of shite n then slappin mfs
Thanks for all the content I've been here on your channel a ton lately soaking in knowledge. Just wanted to ask would it be worth it to go for Tyranitar's hidden ability Or is sand stream the best option?
a set I kinda think could be cool with gliscor and scizor everywhere: Tyranitar @ Life Orb / Expert Belt Ability: Sand Stream EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe Modest Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Ice Beam / Blizzard - Flamethrower / Fire Blast - Thunderbolt / Thunder - Dark Pulse / Focus Blast / Surf / Earth Power basically bolt beam blast coverage, with dark pulse as stab, also to hurt latios. surf, focus blast, or earth power for heatran.
I like running sp.def Tar with banded Infernape, iron fist w/Mach punch, U-turn, thunder punch, flare blitz & scizor technician bullet punch, U-turn, aerial ace, quick attack. Scarf rotom-w fits well too. I like running t.spikes & specs_hex
Regarding stats, if my Tyranitar has the Best (31) IV for Special Atk but is an adamant nature, does it mean the Special Atk is neutral even if the nature says minus Special Atk, meaning it has no effect technically?
I got a shiny larvitar (which is now a tyranitar) and I recently checked it's nature and it is docile which boost and decrease defense which I am very disappointed about.i will probably try it out in online matches or get/use a psuedo-legendary pokemon (or maybe use a none shiny larvitar and grind it to it's evolved lvl.
I have a question as someone not too well versed I competitive. Why run a chice scarf while running pursuit if your trying to get them to switch out anyway?
Pursuit is not in ttar movepool anymore, but lest imagine in the gen5 days of competitive: You are facing a Latios for example, right in front of you, and you want to trap it, you would need that scarf for sure, since the opponent knows, that in the very moment you get ttar to the battlefield, its a fact that you are going to click pursuit, so for him switching out Latios is a sure death and he gets nothing out of it, so in that situation, what he should do is trying to knock out ttar with anything at Latios disposal, like surf or maybe draco meteor if he didnt already used it, if ttar is somewhat worn down, or he gets a lucky crit, he may achieve it But if you run schoice scarf in that situation, with full speed investment and perfect IV (even Jolly), then you know that you are going to hit first and get that Latios even if you are really low HP, so just by having choice scarf and getting somehow ttar in, that Latios is completely doomed and out of options
@@pokeaimMD I was able to come up on a dragon dance one. What’s a good strategy for the choice band? I feel like I always screw myself with it. Do you use a move then switch out? I’ve only really been playing the battle tower trying to get 49 wins

We need more non-Dragon psuedo-Legends ASAP - Tyranitar and Metagross are some of the coolest Mons.
You mean ttar is the coolest mon
I agree. We almost had that with Volcarona but its BST is just a bit short and it's not part of a 3 stage evo line.

Aggron should be Pseudo Legendary, he seems so much more like a rival for Ttar than the other Steel Dragon

THANK YOU! Pokemon with base stats like ttar are so hard for me to decide what direction to take them! Loving the content bro
Fact: T tar essentially has 150 sp.def since it'll pretty much be always under sandstorm.
It's more like 159 Base Sp.Def without investments, about 174 Base Sp.Def if you use max-max investments - since you multiply the actual stat rather than the base stat
everytime i see ttar stats i imagine how Broken it would be if his speed and spatk was switched, a man can dream for sure.
If only his mega was slimmed down xD

You can also do the GOAT set of Dragon Dance with Chople berry. Run it with a Gliscor teammate for Breloom and Infernape

@@pokeaimMD with rest chesto or a type lowering berry, it isn’t too bad
Assurance only works if they’ve taken damage in the same turn, I.e from entry hazards or their own life orb
Your content is great man
let me tell you I am sleepin on jolly max speed dragon dance tyranitar, always thought hp was the way

Tyranitar...aka the pkmn incarnation of gojira(godzilla)

Lash out after proced with wp makes it useful in tr too

Tho ddance rock slide remains pretty consistent (with chople berry)
