Maybe Tyranitar is not such a Good Articuno counter after all.

These numbers were all formulated using GamePress numbers and custom formulas to get a rough estimate of the DPS. By no means am I saying this is exact.

Believe me, a Wild Charge Arcanine has a superior DPS than a Flamethrower one, even considering STAB.

Why, may I ask?

(Edit)

FT[2bars70dmg](1x SE)(Stab)

Yes, with STAB Flamethrower does 84 damage. Flamethrower is 0.6 seconds faster, you decide if the extra 1.2 seconds for 100 energy is worth it.

I'm totally surprised by the difference between FT and OH.

More Bars = Less time to charge up the charge move = more dps. And this is especially good in raids.

This can not be correct. Overheat has 160 damage and a cooldown of 4.0 seconds. Flamethrower has 70 damage and cooldown of 2.2 seconds, for two bars thus 140 and 4.4 seconds. From the same energy, created by the same quick moves, Overheat generates more damage in shorter time.

Its because you can get off Flamethrower faster. Making it better for raids. But for pokemon in gyms like blissey. OH is much more useful.

I don't care, I just need spamming attack using bite and rock throw. And be sure if the gang minimum is 12 for Articuno and 13 fo Lugia

I don't think these numbers are correct? I'm getting values that are about half this. And Pokebattler and PokeAssistant comes up with even less than I do.

I think you are not taking into account the raid boss defense stat vs attacker's attack stat ratio.

Rough Estimate that is very important. My stuff compares sets. So the DPS number is not right but they are all not right making it a somewhat accurate comparrison of all the moves.

I have much more success with Tyranitar than Golem. Every single time I fight with my Golems, I get dodge glitched so quickly that they barely do any damage at all, sometimes even with nearly full HP. But Tyranitar survives well enough to use stone edge multiple times.
