Tyranitar

by Alex Blorgus Blenkins

Tyranitar is a great tool to deal with Slaking thanks to Sand Stream, which will chip Slaking, thus making Belly Drum a much riskier move than it already is, moreover, it resists Extreme Speed and can deny Slaking with Superpower. Even if you take +6 Extreme Speed, you die to Superpower, which isn't a big problem because then your own Slaking can come and revenge kill. Shadow Ball provides a 2HKO against Gengar and Latios, who also dislike taking damage from Sand. Extreme Speed grants a small ammount of damage against boosted Slaking, that, when combined with sand damage will usually be enough to either be revenge killed by your own Slaking or to KO it. The last moveslot depends on where Tyranitar is on the team, Rock Blast should used if and only if Tyranitar is the lead of your team wheras Explosion offers and OHKO against almost anything and Baton Pass offers momentum.
