Tyranitar with Stone Edge VS Mewtwo

So the Raid Counters page lists Tyranitar as a supreme Mewtwo counter with either Crunch or Stone Edge. I have a team of Stone Edge Tars and am wondering to what extent they are inferior to their Crunch counterparts, and wether I should TM some into Crunch... Or if the difference is small then I can just keep them the way they are. Thanks for the input.

If I remember right, SE has about 5% lower Dps.
P.s.
Wasted 6 charge tms just to get back to SE via 3 fire blast interims :).

Back to SE from Crunch? So you would not recommend going the other way?

That is a bummer. I used mine on fire blast knowing that what I got would be better. I've done the same thing on other mon though.

If you're dodging, Crunch and Stone Edge are roughly equal. If not, Crunch is better but not by much.

My motto has always been take either over Fire blast... And with my luck i have 3 Crunch and 3 Stone Edge. From what i have seen though, keep Stone Edge and vise versa. You may have enough charged TMs to try again but Fire Blast is just that bad that either looks spectacular on Ttar.

At level 30, B/C is 5.1 % better, at level 39, B/C is 6.9% better, unless you have way too many charged TM's, I wouldn't mess with them.

A 6.9% improvement in a key attacker for a crucial battle is worth it in my book.

As I recollect it's for neutral matchup, isn't it? If so in case of mewtwo crunch should have way higher cycle dps.
But I'll rather try to get more ttars with both charges, than mess with tms.

I prefer crunch. So i can use my tyranitar as a gym-sweeper, having the charged move fast in place and not overkill too much.

So it is not only better for mewtwo.

If i need stone edge, i have some golems and rhydons in place.

Dark destroys Psychic. Go with B/C, I have a beast TTar with B/C, but am powering up a stronger TTar with Stone Edge. Want to switch to Crunch, take my Twin Tars to war with Mew and Mew Two.

It goes beyond DPS. I have a feeling it will be impossible to cast more than one stone edge during a battle with mewtwo, but may be possible to fire off 4 or 5 crunches.

Nope. The CD of Crunch is too long, it takes 3.2 s to finish the whole process, I still prefer SE against Mewto. It's not that suck to have SE

I'm swimming in TMs so I'll change all my SE's into Crunch when Mewtwo is out.

Crunch for sure.
Crunch is a 50 manner charged move and stone edge is a 100 one.
In a Mewtwo raid, you should never dodge! Why? Because you want more balls to catch it. No dodge=more DPS. And you can probably use 3~4 times a 50 manner move but you can only use a 100 manner move once.
