I feel like if it was introduced before gen 6 it'd have been good in OU.
I'm also a bit disappointed that the best strategy for the Tyrannosaur with Strong Jaw is to spam Rock Head Head Smash as well but at least its Choice Band set has barely any switch ins.

I really, really like Tyrantrums design (I am so biased towards Dinosaurs and Trexs in particular though).

All it needs to fix it is sand rush.

What type did you want for it then? I can't think of anything more fitting or more interesting. It's a freaking exclusive typing, too.

i got some questions op

what did you expect the typing of a Tyrannosaurus to be other than rock/dragon?
also it does have strong jaw and its rarel used because a stab head smash with no recoil is way to good to pass up

It's also a fossil Pokémon which have to be Rock types.

I honestly think Sand rush HA would be enough for it. Probably not going to make it a top tier threat but it would be enough for him to be a very solid pick on sand teams.

What physical walls? It breaks past anything with a Choice band and some prediction. Only stuff like full def Mega Slowbro can tank it. Its special movepool is also mediocre.

What is the point of Pokémon like Ledian even existing anymore and HOW, after multiple gens of GF handing out retroactive stat boosts and Ledian being included in the fucking USUM Dex, has it not had even the smallest stat boost?

They might as well just change swarm to Huge Power because it's so garbage.

It's a design I love, and have always wanted to use in-game, but I'm not that masochistic.

eviolite gives clefairy more bulk than clefable. That's the trade off I guess. It'd just be too good on full evolutions.

Literally the only time I have was in Spirit Gold. It's just not the same though.

>>34672576

I really like the idea of sacrificing one Pokémon's ability to bolster it's teammate and a defensive/utility Pokémon would be the best fit imo.

Togekiss is great, it's a solid defensive choice that has so much utility. Follow me Is the big one though. Friend guard lessens the effect of spread moves and makes predicting when to use follow me considerably easier.

yeah it has both dances but faster dragons are everywhere and mono dragon wasn't that bad until tapu cancer.
its movepool isn't bad because all you need is a dance, dragon stab, poison jab, and earthquake which haxorus has access to all of those but if you try to set up in this meta you're going to have a bad time.

It annoys me how Gallade, whose design is centered on its elbow blades, makes no use of them.
>Best Fighting STABs are punches (no access to Sacred Sword).
>Has a cool slashing move as Psychic STAB, but a fucking headbutt is stronger (also, most sets don't even run any of those).
>Coverage blade/slashing moves are mostly outclassed by other moves (Knock Off >Night Slash, and Leaf Blade doesn't help too much).

On a side note: Aerodactyl with Head Smash might be a little too much, but Brave Bird to abuse Rock Head would be just fine.

As a last point, Gourgeist could be special to go with its interesting special options, and to diferentiate it from the other Grass/Ghosts.
