Tyranitar CD Move
So as many in here already assumed, it will be Larvitar for the next community day. Does anyone have a good idea what is going to be the next special move?

It might just be one of those for the lols moves, like surf pikachu, dragon pulse ampharos or dracometeor Dragonite. I also hope for it as well.
Smackdown better not be wasted as an exclusive move, many other rock mons need it. And it’s a fast move unlike other charge moves.
Since almost everybody has invested in tyranitar giving it over the top exclusive moves which cannot be tm’ed hurts player base, kills variety against peers unlike getting starters viable.
My guess is they will give him a better dark move like dark pulse. Alternatively they can go the defensive route and give him aerial ace (bye bye machamp).
Smack down is also a possibility, I don't like it but I don't think it will break the meta. It will only be available for 3 hours and most players won't have enough candy to evolve 6.
Unless they were lazy with the text, we can assume Smack Down is out since it isn't a charge move. Disregarding completely random moves, there isn't really much to give it. Two that have been mentioned already to be likely contenders are Rock Slide and Dark Pulse. Without running numbers, I think both would provide minor upgrades without being completely gamebreaking or - even better - completely obsoleting the armies of Tyranitars people likely already have.
