Intro:
Hello smogon, this is my first rate my team and the team I'll be asking for help with is a mega tyranitar team. I love Ttar and am currently using it on battle spot singles and have reached 1751 with it on the global link ladder this season so far. If any of you have any suggestions on EV spreads or just using different mons please tell me in the comments section. Without further ado here is the team.
Tyranitar-Mega @ Tyranitarite
Ability: Sand Stream
Level: 50
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Stone Edge
- Earthquake
- Ice Punch
- Dragon Dance
Very standard DD mega ttar set, the jolly nature and max speed evs allow mega ttar to out speed base 130 positive speed nature Pokemon after one dragon dance as well outspeed the bulky mimikyus which seem to have caught on lately on the bss. A potential option is to run fire punch over ice punch to hit ferrothorn or scizor but I have yet to encounter scizor on the bss and I place more importance on hitting landog over ferrothorn.
Moltres @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Pressure
Level: 50
EVs: 252 HP / 156 Def / 100 Spe
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Burn Up
- Hurricane
- Roost
- Will-O-Wisp
Moltres works very well with tyranitar being immune to ground type moves while also resisting fighting and fairy which plague Ttar. Main reason I added her is to check mons such as mimikyu and blaziken without thunder punch which can seriously hinder ttars sweep. The speed evs allow moltres to outspeed bulky mimikyu and adamant breloom. Hurricane is to hit fighting types while burn up is very useful as the fire typing can be a liability sometimes such as when facing tapu fini. Together they form a formidable defensive core with each anwering the others counter.
Ferrothorn @ Leftovers
Ability: Iron Barbs
Level: 50
EVs: 252 HP / 88 Def / 168 SpD
Relaxed Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Gyro Ball
- Power Whip
- Leech Seed
- Protect
Tapu Fini @ Mago Berry
Ability: Misty Surge
Level: 50
EVs: 252 HP / 36 Def / 164 SpA / 36 SpD / 20 Spe
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Moonblast
- Surf
- Calm Mind
- Taunt
Next, I decided to add 2 more mons with good type synergy with Ttar. Ferrothorn checks mons like landog and electric types that can take on either Ttar or moltres while fini provides an alternate way to deal with fighting types for ferrothorn. Both can check mimikyu who I cannot begin to describe how scary it is in BSS at the moment. Power whip over SR on ferrothorn is to help deal with bulky waters which can threaten moltres and Ttar. Ferrothorn fini and moltres form FWG core to help defensively. Both sets are quite standard but I'm currently not too sure about the ev spreads so any suggestions would be appreciated.
Landorus-Therian @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Intimidate
Level: 50
EVs: 132 HP / 172 Atk / 8 Def / 196 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Earthquake
- Rock Tomb
- Knock Off
- U-turn
I realised that I needed a lead/cleaner so decided to add scarfed landog. The moveset is quite standard and I'm using 7thgenbattlespots bulky ev spread however again if any of you have suggestions for the ev spread please comment. Landog forms another core with fini and ferro and also helps deal with electric types for fini and moltres. Against breloom teams a great strat is to lead lando against their breloom and u-turn into fini who can take 2 bullet seeds from -1 breloom most of the time using the berry and is immune to spore and proceed to ko with moonblast.
Finally I needed a fast special wall breaker so I decided to go with dragonium z nagandel. Originally I believed it would work very well with landog as landog destroys most counters to naganadel such heatran and Ttar but it didn't work out so well. This mon hasn't been very good so far so any substitutes would be appreciated. The set is below. It's the most standard set possible so again I doubt it needs any explanations.
Naganadel @ Dragonium Z
Ability: Beast Boost
Level: 50
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Draco Meteor
- Sludge Wave
- Fire Blast
- Nasty Plot
So yeah that's the team. Please do give suggestions as I'd like to improve this team as much as possible.
