Ill be your friend :)

Yeah I just found that. But it seems their major reasons were tradition and the ability to use lvl 1s for FEAR strategies. Doesnt seem like a lot to me. Someone even posted how the viability of lower BST Pokemon could move up with lvl50 standards. But, its no big deal considering how only a few...

I have noticed something very interesting while playing Showdown and watching Wifi Battles for X and Y on Youtube. It seems that GameFreak has slightly changed X and Y Wifi Battles in that Pokemon are now set to level 50 while they were previously set to level 100. Well after doing some quick...

Ok, you are entitled to your opinion on Tyrantrum and I respect that but what you have been filling up the past few posts on this thread does sound a lot like complaining. So how about we just move on the discussion. If you think he is weak then fine think that. Ill think what I think and...

Well any good player would not bring in a Pokemon to sweep if his counters are not yet eliminated first. Of course you want to get rid of those pesky scarfers and priority users especially Scizor before you bring this guy in. I mean what good player would try to sweep with a Lucario lacking...

Yeah this is the set I have been using for Crobat and i gotta say, I love it. I do prefer taunt over his last option tho as it completely stops Smeargle leads and Breloom from sporing you. Infiltrator with Brave Bird works so well considering some of the most popular users of Substitute I have...

I think a lot of people are assuming he will be running Rock Head. I know it isn't released yet but its just a matter of time. If your talking about Strong Jaw Tyrantrum, then I agree that he is underwhelming as a sweeper and should probably run Choiced sets since his sweeps will be cut short...

Yea I really wish he did have a biting move that got STAB, something that would distinguish him more, maybe even a move similar to Freeze Dry like the other fossil. It would make both abilities viable and keep your opponent guessing. From testing on showdown, he is able to pull off sweeps, with...

I don't think he is lucky to get HS and RH, I think GameFreak just made a good decision in limiting his power so that it doesn't become another easy button like Banded Outrages and Specs Draco Meteors were in 5th Gen. I mean imaging a 140 base Atk Rock Head Head Smash. Just slap a Band and spam...

You forgot to mention Crobat as a Defog Candidate, its very fast, has access to taunt, and a handful of resistances, infiltrator is also a great ability to get past substitute users, not to mention the ability to just stop Substitute Seeding very effectively. I have been running one on Showdown...

Yea I pointed out in a previous post how MegaTtar seems to be a better version of this guy as he ties in speed and has superior bulk. That isn't to say Tyrantrum will not have his advantages as he doesn't need a Mega Stone slot and lacks a 4x weakness. On top of that Tyrantrum can run Banded...

Hey, just found this on GameFAQs, it looks pretty legit, but I am not 100% sure. At least there seems to finally be some visual evidence of what we all have been waiting for. :) http://i.imgur.com/aWaXjBu.jpg

I was not really trying to compare Tyrantrum to the metagame as much as I was trying to compare it relative to its contenders to establish what tier it may end up in regardless of how the metagame ends up. I am a huge fan of Tyrantrum and love him just as much as the next guy but I was just...

Here is my reasoning as to why I think Tyrantrum will end up UU. Some Pokemon are dropped into lower tiers simply because their is something that outclasses them in a higher tier. Two examples I can come up with from last generation are Rhyperior and Machamp. Rhyperior had beastly offensive and...

Yea I completely agree with you, I posted some calcs here earlier of how even with full defensive investment he is still taking heavy damage from super effective hits, enough to 2HKO him most of the time. In UU Heracross and Mienshao can easily beat a defensive set. I think although his defenses...
