At what cp would this be good at for pvp?

Checking pvpivs.com shows it ranks better in Great League than Ultra League, but really the issue is that Tyranitar is a pretty niche option in PvP. It might be good in some limited cups, but it’s typing leaves it weak to a lot of the Pokémon that people are going to use in open league play.

Using a ‘Mon that’s weak against both the Swamperts that many people will have and the Venusaur that everyone else will bring to counter those Swamperts leads to a risky situation

I did think about this, very weak to the common water type attackers , oh well I’ll give it a go I had the candy spare , thanks for the insight


SpaceChef3000

No prob. It’ll do some damage, that’s for sure!


Genghiiiis

Also weak to fighting, which comprises a LOT of the GL meta.

On the other hand you can destroy Noctowl and Pidgeot.

Download PokeGenie, take this screenshot, import it on the app and it’ll tell you

Rank 49, thanks !


Almost-Honest

It’s a great app to have. I found out I have the number 1 ranked Bollosom and I didn’t even know it.


Whatsausername26

I’ve had it for a while I just didn’t realise it was rank checking etc , lmao grats!

I just checked mine and I have the number 1 ranked empoleon for ultra league, but that doesn’t mean it’s good though right?


Masulevis

It means it would technically beat any other empoleon in a one on one with same number of shields/circumstances. However if you want to know how good it is overall in that league go on pvpoke .com and check the ultra league rankings.


KConnerMcDavidPasta

That's not exactly true. It would lose CMP to higher attack and therefore probably lose. It means it has the highest possible stat product for the species. Which is why 15 attack is so important in ML.


Masulevis

Didn’t know that, thank you!


PSA69Charizard

Nope. Rank 1 just means it has the highest stat product for that species. Doesnt mean it’s the best pvp iv’s or that the pokemon is even good in pvp. Old school technology was stat product. Now people use breakpoints and cmp to also influence what iv’s might be optimal. It’s situational and there is never a best iv combo for all situations.


Raheemo_Therapy

Oh that makes more sense, it’s a shiny too so I could just level it to flex lol


Summersthegreat

I would use it if you pvp… Just don’t run anything really high ranked on lead you may get come across a mirror in. With a 1 move head start and no over farming, being stuck in a mirror doesn’t matter as much.


Almost-Honest

Man, this really just bummed me out.


Subarunyon

Rank 49 is amazing!


Mathsketball

You might sometimes face a lot of Talonflame leads… or other fliers. This can slot in well. Just make sure the rest of your team covers Tyranitar’s weaknesses.

I find the great league quite abit harder than ultra league , even though I’ve probably invested more into my 1500 teams lol , this ttar will make a nice addition though


Mystic_Starmie

1489, rank 49 for great league. Congratulations 🎊


Whatsausername26

Will wait and see when I can remove frustration I hope it slaps!
