They mentioned that Tyranitar wasn't allowed at an official Platinum tournament. I'm not really into Poke'mon like I used to be, so can someone explain why this was? I'm thinking that a decent fighting type move would put it down considering it's rock/dark type.

it's cause nintendo knows nothing about competitive play

the only non-legend pokemon accepted by the community to be banned are garchomp (still controversial) and wobbuffet

there's a berry that halves the damage taken from ice moves, pair this with the fact that garchomp is fast

Oh. Didn't know about the berry thing. I can see how that would make him harder to deal with than he already is, but I still wouldn't ban him.

we had a thread yesterday relating to garchomp's placing in uber

anyways, doesn't nintendo usually restrict tournaments to level 50 pokemon? that might explain why tar's banned
