Wouldn't tyranitar likely be more saved in the long term if it just drops to UU, gets quickb& in 1 week after everyone starts seething, and everyone remembers it again because it got b&?

That just means it'd go to UUBL, not OU. Besides, anything less than OU will tarnish its perfect record.
No Gen 1 Pokemon are left that have always been OU. If Tyranitar drops, that only leaves Skarmory iirc for Gen 2.

Do you think if Landorus-Therian was falling to UU that it's cocksucking fans would force it back into OU?
Not even Gengarfags went into such a panic when he fell and Gengar is way more popular.
Why is the stockholm syndrome with Tyranitar so strong?

Ttar is the last mon that's always been OU. Tyranitar wouldn't be special if gengar didn't drop to UU.

Way more people are sick of seeing Lando than want it to stick around.
Gengar got a perma-nerf with Cursed Body.
Tyranitar got a nerf with Pursuit being cut and people are upset since Pursuit could come back in the DLC and they don't want Tyranitar to drop for that dumb reason in that space of time. If it never comes back, Tyranitar will probably drop to UU since people will stop bothering.

Ironic because it's never had as much usage as Tyranitar did at its peak.

A lot of times no one gives a fuck about mons in OU until the nerfbat in UU. Gengar stared being used way more in gen 8 OU after it got banned from UU.

You'd have to play with Tyranitar every day until either Pursuit comes back or a new gen begins. This is insanity.

Just let him drop already.
Ttar is getting old and can't keep up in OU anymore.
Let him be in a tier where he'll actually be good again (even though he'll get quickbanned immediately).

This is literally coping, the advertisement for the Isle of Armor specifies that tutors will feature moves that are completely new and have not appeared in prior games, while Crown Tundra won't have tutors.

This shit is hilarious because even if it does keep Shitranitar in OU, then we all know the only reason for that is that it's being artificially kept there by its shills rather than its non-existent viability.

Not like it hasn't happened before. A single Youtuber did a series climbing with Ambipom to Top 10 in UU and the spotlight driving viewers to copypaste and play with it too made Ambipom actually rise to UU.

>muh streak
Nobody gives a shit about Zapdos' broken streak, or Gengar's, or Skarmory's inevitable broken streak in the future, or when Blissey was displaced by Chansey, or that Starmie has disappeared from the face of the Earth. Every Pokémon eventually has a bad generation, most don't ever recover, why is Tyranitar special? Tiering is an arbitrary label to begin with, if a Pokémon is in UU or in a lower tier then that simply means you are allowed to use it in more place. Seeing it as a matter of pride for the Pokémon is a dead giveaway you are not over 18.

There's more to it than that.
It got nasty plot, ghost resists are now near non-existent, it's speed tier is much more valuable, and it gets setup on the best pokemon in the meta.

BL means that the pokemon is too strong from a certain tier and is banned from it, but it's not in the succesive tier because it doesn't get the required usage
In other words, a uubl pokemon is too weak for ou but too strong for uu

OU distinguishes that the mons are actually used. BL means both Border Line and Ban List. There were plenty of things that were banned in the lower tiers but see little to no play in OU. Like Drought being banned in the lower tiers in Gen 6 meant Ninetales could only have Flash Fire if you used it in UU or below, but Drought Ninetales was barely used in OU because Mega Charizard Y was a more devastating sun setter.
Drought Ninetales + Mega Houndoom in UU was a nuke.

In rough lines it distinguishes what is a shitmon and what is not, or rather, what actually gets usage and what doesn't. Of course in practice some BL Pokémon are actually good and better than some OU Pokémon (i.e. Obstagoon vs. Tyranitar) but that goes for every lower tier.

Obstagoon was great until everyone and their moms slapped Body Press on their teams. Then people moved on to running Conkeldurr in that slot. The only Obstagoon set I use when I do use one is Switcheroo, it's very clutch in the Screen + Setup meta.

Aside from Switcheroo(which is underrated because Obstagoon with Leftovers, Boots or even Choice items is very scary), Bulk Up+Obstruct is great to BTFO physical walls. However you are right, since Close Combat Conk caught on it can be hard at times to justify Obstagoon, still better than Tyranitar though lol.

Oh I was still talking about Flame Orb, sorry if that was misleading. Those items you mentioned sound nasty with a Defiant set to punish Defoggers, but Flame Orb Switcheroo is just to stop people from setting up.

Here's an example:

Burn myself with flame orb and then Switcheroo with the opponent.
Sometimes I even get a leftovers which totally cancels out the bad effect of the burn. It's great.

Oh well, that's what I meant too, occasionally you can get a good item via Switcheroo. I don't think Defiant is good, is too weak compared to Guts.
