Tyranitar counter

Since Tyranitar become more and more common, I decide to create a Tyranitar killer. The optimal solution should be Machamp and I start to catch machop. After some time I evolve 4 Machamp. Their movesets are C/HS, BP/HS, BP/DP and BP/CC. I have insane bad luck! Should I keep evlove machamp or use one of the above? In addition, I have a Poliwarth with RS/DP, should I use him instead?

you should have no problem with those mon. Bullet punch is still super effective against tyranitar bc of steel vs rock matchup; so use the bp/dp machamp. Poliwrath with fight moves will destroy tyranitar as well. and if you want another goody, donphan with counter, play rough is also super effective against tyranitar.

Are Vapes rare in your area?

Nope. But he does resist IT which is what I've come across the most often on defense. He also resists Fire which only matters if some poor soul actually puts a fire blast one in. But with water moves hitting for 1.25 a high level Vape still just destroys him. The fighting options are great if you have them but if you don't then Vape still will just ruin him too.

Poliwrath esp. with RT/DP is ultra-effective vs Tyrannitar; even tho its a littlebit of a luxury Pokemon, if you can afford it, go for it!

You mean RS for Rock Smash, not RT.

Due to his CP etc this is the only place where he really shines as an attacker in the current meta. It's a bit of a luxury to make that kind of expenditure on such a specialized mon. Or that's how I read it.

People constantly overestimate Rock Smash Poli.

Rocksmash is 99% irrelevant in any Poli match up vs Blissey/Snorlax/Tyrantir.

At a glance the extra supereffectiveness over bubble (*2 vs *1 on Tyrantir or *1 vs *0 on Blissey/Snorlax) seems awesome.

But bubble is way way way more energy generated.

What ends up happening if you go over to pokebattler is that fights end up being the same.

I've read that and tested it with bubble and it feels right. Unfortunately I'm 0-11 on full fight move Polis.

Isn't bubble tough to dodge with though? I find it slooooow

Is it? For all I've got in this game I have exactly zero folighting move moves in spite of a truck load of evos.

machamp is not easy to spawn here and when i finally got the candys and hatch one with 98% IV became with BP/HS ¬¬

Rhydon with MS + E works pretty well against Tyranitar if one lacks fighting Pokemon.
