Octillery vs Tyranitar

T-tar's so close o the top of the food chain canonically that it shouldn't have too much of a problem beating no-names like Octillery, even with a type advantage.
 
Here's something to keep in mind. T-tar's Sand Stream can actually help him, as sandstorm gives Rock, Ground, and Steel type Mons a 50% special def boost while the sandstorm is active. More than likely than not, T-tar will eat up some of Octillery's strongest Water-moves, unless Octillery likes to gamble with the move Acupressure or the ability Moody.

Idk if Octillery will be able to take more than one hit after T-tar Dragon Dances once.

No names? That's mean, boi.
 
If it was a more impressive Water type from that generation, such as Feraligatr, I would side with the type-advantage for the win.

But...this is an Octillery, which is a bit of a bad Pokemon, even with moves such as Octozooka behind it. So...Tyranitar dines on some fine calamari FRA.
 
It'd be Energy Projection, but yeah.

Octillery's ability, Moody, passively boosts its stats throughout the battle, but the stat that it boosts each time is random. Plus, Octillery's M.O. is to constrict its opponents with its tentacles, something you definitely don't want to do vs a Tyranitar. So while Octillery can win, it's highly unlikely that it will.

Tyranitar for those reasons + FRA

Yeah, I think this is ready to be added.
