Is Tyranitar good in Standard?
Its hardest-hitting attack is Demolition Tackle on Team Rocket's Tyranitar (Destined Rivals), doing 180 for 4 Energy. For the best value, Cracking Stomp on Tyranitar does 150 for just 2 Energy. The bulkiest version is Tyranitar ex with 340 HP, but it gives up 2 Prize cards when Knocked Out. Watch out for Grass attackers — that's its weakness.
