PVE Offensive Moves Explanation
- Bite is best paired with Crunch, while Smack Down should be paired with Stone Edge.
- Iron Tail is okay against Pokemon weak to Steel but not Rock, but its use cases are narrow.
- Fire Blast is underwhelming in every aspect.
PVE Defensive Moves Explanation
- Iron Tail edges out Smack Down due to not being resisted by Fighting.
- Bite barely tickles attackers and is resisted by Fighting to boot.
- Tyranitar faints quickly vs. Fighting-types and needs Crunch to threaten damage.
- That said, Stone Edge has a very early damage window.
- Fire Blast is underwhelming in every aspect.
PVE Overview
Tyranitar has a formidable base stat total and pervasive STAB coverage, making it one of the top attackers to have. It excels at chomping through targets weak to Dark and Rock-type moves and is a great Pokemon to compliment any relevant team.
As a raid attacker, Tyranitar has become something of a "middle of the road" Pokemon. It excels as both a Rock-Type and a Dark-Type attacker, though it now has competition that outclasses it on both fronts. That said, it's still a bulky option that can help seal up a team and add some longevity while keeping DPS well within an acceptable level. Just watch out for Fighting Type coverage!
On defense, Iron Tail and Smack Down can put serious dents in attackers, but Tyranitar falls like a house of cards to Fighting-types. Its motivation drops quickly, begging for it to be knocked out in just a few hours.
Despite being a bit less of a star than it once was, Tyranitar still has a trick left in its future. When/if we end up getting Mega Evolution, Tyranitar is capable of taking advantage of this system to become even stronger than it is now.
