Tyranitar moveset question

[The Irish Mafia]

I'm not a serious pokemon player, but it is a hobby of mine. I've been raising a tyranitar, and I'm at a little crossroads for what to replace sandstorm with, now that he has sand stream. I'm considering Double Team and Swords Dance, but double team is an evasive move for a physical wall, and since he has high defense stats, I'm wondering if it's necessary or not. I also think swords dance isn't a bad idea. STAB Stone Edge + zoom lense + Swords Dance should be some ****.

POKEMON Q AND A THREAD Umbreon Jesiah if you will

i generally go with a Dragon Dance version of Ttar, over Swords Dance, because Tyranitar is so slow. If you are just playing through the game and his health isnt a big issue, SD should work just fine. If you are worried about his health but want a boost, go with Dragon Dance.

bigger issue- Dragon Dance requires breeding- so if you are just going for extra power and dont feel like breeding, go with SD. If you want to make Ttar faster, Rock Polish isnt a terrible thought.

Double Team- its generally not worth the effort. It prolongs in-game progress, and its illegal in the meta-game.

and yea, next time just throw it in the Q+A thread, we will answer it.

hyper beam,earthquake,crunch,rock slide(that one is optional) are the best moofs, you will end any battle in less than a half minute and is a guarantee of mine XD
