Le Communard Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 (edited) Lol. Do you know something called type disadvantage? Fighting-type moves can pwn Tyranitar because Tyranitar is super weak against such moves.Learn to battle competitively. Pshaw. This is Tyranitar Cavalry we speak of right now. "Type advantage" might work with undomesticated Tyranitar, but when they are being ridden by FESSRian Commandos with high powered Automatic weapons the story is much different.

Krevin Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Lol. Do you know something called type disadvantage? Fighting-type moves can pwn Tyranitar because Tyranitar is super weak against such moves.Learn to battle competitively. If we're bringing competitive play into this, there are quite a few Psychic and Ghost Pokemon in the OU Tier (inb4tiersareforqueers, Pokemon bases their tiers off a Pokemon's frequency of use, with the exception of Ubers who are usually banned because they alter the metagame), and even more OU Tier pokemon that use Psychic moves in their standard movesets. Fighting Pokemon aren't exactly known for having a high Special Def stat, and most of them are slow as well, so pretty much any Psychic Pokemon becomes a PsuedoSweeper. Moreover, theres pokemon like Gengar and Dusknoir, who are immune to Fighting and Normal Type attacks, and using Foresight is like giving Gengar or Dusknoir a turn to slam you with a Shadow Ball or try their hand at Hypnosis. Lastly, there's the issue of Pokemon like Ninjask, Skarmory, Yanmega, and Gliscor, who can cause heavy damage with Flying Type moves and take half-damage from Fighting-type attacks. Ever wonder why all the OU Fighting-types (with the exception of Machamp, because he's so fucking strong) are multi-type? Fighting type just isn't that great. TL;DR: Don't defend fighting types and bring up competitive Pokemon in the same thread, it makes you look ridiculous. I've seen Dunsparce give troubles with Thunder Wave and Headbutt, just because of flinch hax. Togekiss does it a lot better. Togekiss gets a STAB Air Slash, and Nasty Plot to buff it up and Roost to keep its HP full. I just like Dunsparce because he flops around and doesn't afraid of anything.

Beat me to the punch there. :D Tyranitar really doesn't have to be too scared of Fighting types. Scared a little, yeah, but Fighting Pokemon aren't exactly popular. It's not an amazing type, what with the amount of incredible Psychic Pokemon and Pyschic moves. I'm actually surprised that a Fire/Fighting like Infernape manages to maintain his place, although I guess it's a testament to the amazing Sweeper stats and moveset he's got going...

Infernape is still hardly even maintaining his OU placement, too, since his resistances are easily avoided and his weaknesses are easily punished. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Communard Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 (edited) Wow, I didn't even know they had Tyranitars in the new gen games. I used to have a beastly one in Silver version. If I say so myself, it was was the meanest Pokemon on this side of the Mississippi. There wasn't a kid in town who could hold a candle to it. But then my cartridge battery died... Ah, those where the days. Edited December 12, 2008 by Admrial Daala Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Envoy of the Beginning Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 (edited) Wow, I didn't even know they had Tyranitars in the new gen games. You can get a Larvitar from FireRed or LeafGreen, then migrate it to Diamond/Pearl/Platinum. Or look for one at Route 207 in Diamond using the PokeRadar.

uguu Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 It's possible to get all of the 386 Pokemon of that time using Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, LeafGreen, FireRed, XD, and Colloseum. Which means it's possible to get them all in D/P/P since you can just transfer them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds like such a pain. I didn't even beat my Diamond version--I don't think I could ever work up the interest to do that. If there's one place I'm OK being a Reactionary Conservative, its with the Pokemans. Edited December 13, 2008 by Admrial Daala Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
