Tyranitar: Physical or Special Attacker?
Oct. 29, 2014I see so many people using a special attacking Tyranitar yet its SpA compared to its Atk is terrible, with an approximate 80 difference. Please include pros, cons and a verdict.

I recommend sticking to a physical moveset, Special can be unpredictable, but other than that it doesn’t have much utility. Personally, I run a physically based mixed set with Flamethrower for Ferrothorn, the down side is the Speed loss, but it doesn’t bother me.
Alright, Tyranitar is a pseudo legend with pretty good stats either side.The most used one according to sweepercalc is physical but I will give pros and cons for both.
His movepool provides great coverage.
His infamous Assault Vest set has coverage with ice beam and fire blast.
95 special attack isn’t all that bad y’know.
Dragon dance.
Lolwut 134 attack.
Endless physical coverage.
Physical cons.
As his attack is higher with better boosting moves, I would go for physical but you can go for whichever helps your team better.
