Is there any use for a bite/stone edge Tyranitar

Assuming you plan to evolve and power up several smack down Tyranitar during community days and you have 30 plus charge TMs?

Hello Sir,

Better wait for CD to be over before taking any decisions. Remember Blast Burn got nerfed at a critical moment.

I agree that no decisions should be made before the community day is over. There's very rarely any reason to commit resources in advance.

However, it's extremely unlikely that SD Tyranitar isn't the absolute nuts as a rock attacker. GPs own article on the CD has the numbers for SD being a copy of any fast move and any nerf would have to be huge to prevent it from dethroning Golem. Even if SD ends up being kind of a meh fast move, TTar will be rock king with it.

True, but ice doesn't do much besides that. Personally I use Gardevoir for potion efficiency or dragons for speed and neutral coverage.

It's the fastest Tyranitar! Good when you trying something like 1v1 Jynx.
But I feel like that's it

But is worse at wrecking it than SD/C. B/SE might be preferable against HP Lugia so you have better chance of dodging.

If you do not have a lot of charge TMs, then Bite/Stone Edge can still be used as a rock attacker if during community day you don't evolve enough with Smack Down/Stone Edge and get several with SD/Crunch or SD/Fire Blast.

If do have charge TMs to spare, then in addition to changing all your CD Tyranitars to Stone Edge, you can change your old B/SE to B/C.

If you have maxed teams of six Tyranitar with B/S and six with B/C... why?

I agree that SD / SE Ttar should be a beast and that the nerf would need to be massive to prevent this. However, this might not be initially obvious if they tweak Smackdown to be a weak move with high energy gain (similar to the psychic move Psycho Cut which has a mere attack factor of 5 but to many is preferred over Confusion with attack factor of 20). That would still be good, but I think many are hoping it will be a quick AND powerful move ... but that might be simply too much to ask for.

Part of that preference comes from how much easier it is to dodge using Psycho Cut over Confusion.
