THE BEST TYRANITAR BUILD GUIDE - POKEMON UNITE

PENDING

White damage is funny.
Muscle is used to fit as many autos in ulti window as possible, as that is the most influential phase for him…as well as help rip farm faster and skirmish if needed early on. *He can no longer crit during ulti, so scope is not as valuable.*

You generally want to avoid most conflict until you hit lvl 9, especially since your first jungle clear fast tracks you directly into your Pupitar (crappiest) phase.
Larvitar laning is actually not horrendous, a Bite done at low health that is also boosted by Rock Polish is quite a decent amount of dmg and the root can absolutely turn a duel. The problem lies post-5, where everyone else in the game gets an additional power spike at 6 or 7, you’re stagnant all the way to 9.

Hitting 9 is truly one of, if not THE biggest 9 power spikes in the game. You get ulti obviously, but also access to also one of the most overloaded moves in Ancient Power/Sand Tomb. This is where you finally have some much needed movement options, and your true damage niche comes online at last.

Courtesy of Redpandersbear:
Sand tomb/Dark pulse is a moveset that gives Ttar some depth as an instant dive option providing a stun in the area that you land before setting down a large aoe that slows and does steady damage. While Ttar is in the sand tomb it has 25% damage reduction making it incredibly difficult to actually KO or do reasonable damage against. Sand tomb can force enemies into a bad fight against Ttar or to zone them away from important objectives. Even against mons that generally kite Ttar, they need to be extremely careful since a sand tomb stun will leave them sitting ducks and the aoe slow can be difficult to escape without battle items. The move comes out fast enough to be hard to react too unless you are predicting it. Sand tomb also is a great tool for sieging nets or preventing enemies from dunking on your own net cause of the steady ticks of true damage. Just remember you need to stand inside sand tomb in order to get the true damage, although if you attack enemies outside the circle while you are inside the circle with auto’s or dark pulse you will still do true damage.
