I'm trying to build a team and am looking for a special wall with the Assault Vest. I'm choosing between Tyranitar and Goodra, considering they're the best options for this role. I've tried AV Tyranitar in the past, but haven't got the chance with Goodra. I know how Tyranitar works with an Assault Vest. In the sand, he literally takes SE special attacks like it was nothing. However, I have no idea how Goodra would manage in such a role. Would anyone make a simple comparison between the two?
252+ SpA Choice Specs Hydreigon Draco Meteor vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Assault Vest Goodra: 320-378 (83.3 - 98.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252 SpA Choice Specs Latios Draco Meteor vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Assault Vest Goodra: 300-354 (78.1 - 92.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
If that's good enough for you.
Goodra is monotype, so it has zero 4x weaknesses (TTar has to deal with Focus Blast), and it still enjoys the wonderful range of Dragon resists. On the other hand, Tyranitar takes non-Fighting physical hits significantly better and can Pursuit-trap things, in addition to hitting moderately harder.
Goodra, on the other hand, has fantastic coverage (Fire/Electric/Dragon is perfect neutral coverage) and takes Special hits
waaaaaaay better than Tyranitar.
EDIT: (Uh, maybe not THAT much better. They resist completely different things and I forgot to account for the special defense boost Rock gets in sandstorm.)
