Why was Goodra the pseudo of Kalos? So many other pokemon rightfully deserved the title, like Noivern, Draglage, or maybe something that's not a fucking dragon type for once

Tyranitar learns a LOT of Dragon moves.

So much so that if they really wanted to, the could have made Megatar Rock/Dragon and there wouldn't have been any issues at all.

It hit the jackpot with Dark-type, which lasted it until it got Sand Stream the next gen. From there, Sand Stream, decent stat allocation, and god-tier movepool has provided it sustenance.

Challenge; What would cause Tyranitar to drop to UU? And I don't mean drop there, only to be banned to BL. I mean stuck in UU.

Yeah, I was pretty sure we were getting a Dragon/Fairy this gen. But I guess we'll have to wait until the next one.

Also, Dragalge deserved better stats with its unique typing.

Loses Grass/Water/Bug weakness, x4 fighting weakness becomes x2, gains a x4 fire resist and a x2 elec resist and gains an ice and dragon weakness (since it's already weak to fairy). Psychic/Dark/Ghost becomes neutral.

So it would be neutral to Rock/Grass/Water/Bug/Psychic/Dark/Ghost, weak to Fighting/Ground/Steel/Ice/Dragon/Fairy, and resistant to Normal/Flying/Poison/Elec/Fire(x4).

It's not that great of a trade in my opinion.

1/4x to Fire

tbh Dark is really good now, I think Tyranitar is good as he is. He'd really miss those big Pursuits.

Lou Carcolh was a monster that was made up to explain away why so many youths kept getting kidnapped and murder/raped in that town.

Goodra's pretty much based on a slug incubus tentacle monster.

So the typing and the natural bulk in and out of the sand would help T-Tar relatively well. And Pursuit would still hit pretty well because of dat attack.

Going to be honest, there isn't much that could pry Ttar out of OU. It's popular enough to stay OU forever, and strong enough to justify its spot as the best offensive special wall in the game. Maybe if GF decided to cut the special defense boost in sand and gave fighting types a massive buff?
