MetaMons competitive notes
Mega Tyranitar is a rock/dark-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Attack — at 700 BST it is a legendary-grade total for competitive play, with mid-pack speed (base 71) and a physical attacking profile. Its Sand Stream ability matters more than the raw numbers when it hits the field: check what it does before deciding between a sweeper, pivot, or support role for Mega Tyranitar. Build around what Mega Tyranitar actually threatens, not its in-game lore — start from its weaknesses and strongest STAB moves, then decide whether its Speed, bulk, or coverage justifies a team slot.
