Double Rock Tyranitar Counters

With an almighty double rock Tyranitar and Gen4 on the horizon will the top counters Machamp and Hariyama be surpassed? Or will the dynamic duo still be worthy of our hard earned dust beyond such an expected outcome.

Rock quick move doesn't change Tyranitar's counters at all, it's a bad defender due to the double weakness and raid bosses won't have the move anyway.

As for gen 4, Lucario and Gallade have the attack stat to challenge Machamp, but neither can learn C/DP. There's of course a possibility of an even better move than DP but that seems unlikely. Lucario is also so glassy that it likely won't be useful, even with its steel typing it's still glassier against psychic and fairy than Machamp is.

Gen 5 is when Machamp and Hariyama get outclassed by both the non-legendary Conkeldurr and possibly some legendaries as well.

They might. But that would just be a bad business decision, Niantic has an incentive to introduce powercreep when they can.

It would be really cool to see Lucario get a Aura Sphere move that is nearly as powerful as Dynamic Punch. Mega Lucario was sick having aura sphere and flash cannon w/ Adapatbility. I know abilities don’t exist but he became one of my fave Megas. Even then both Lucario and Gallade could torch Machamp if megas are introduced
