Battle of the Pseudo-Legendaries!

Metagross, the steel/psychic robot like thing. One of Gen III's 600 BST powerhouses. It has a signature move of sorts.

Tyranitar, the green dinosaur is Gen II's 600 BST powerhouse.

Who do like more?

Who is more useful?

Who would win in a battle?

Who has the better design?


I like Metagross more. I find it to be more useful and think it has the better design. In a battle between the two, however, T-tar would win.
 
I see why they fit. They're the two non-Dragon-type pseudo-legendaries.

I prefer Tyranitar, though it is a close call. But if the two were to fade off, Metagross would win. Why? Two words: Meteor Mash.
 
Like: Metagross, cause it is shiny

Battle: Well, now with the Choice Scarf pursuit, I have to go with the Tar.
 
I'm not sure which I prefer. I liked Tyranitar until my friend pointed out that whenever Metagross is released in Smash Bros Brawl he screams what sounds like "GENITALS!". So now I burst into laughter whenever I see Metagross. Tyranitar has the better design, but Metagross would likely win in battle due to its insane moveset. Most useful would be a tie, since they are both difficult to obtain and serve no real purpose more than being a tank.
 
"Moveset" was my way of reiterating "Meteor Mash" without being a copycat.
 
Tyranitar has the better design and movepool, plus it's the only pokemon that is Rock/Dark. I love it, it will always be my favorite of the pseudos.

I lol'd at that, and you're right, it does :expect:.

Anyway, I'm going with T-tar for design. Metagross would win in a fight though.
 
Metagross, because I like Pokémon that are both Bulky and Offensive.
 
Tyranitar because I always think of Metagross scampering across the floor and bumping into things like a motorized vacuum.
 
Metagross, 'cause it looks so cool as shiny with it's golden "X"
 
T-Tar in general, I like it's design so much more. It has a better movepool too. It can sweep from both sides of the spectrum and it's ability makes it even more of a tank than it already was. In a battle, I dunno who'd win cuz I haven't memorized their speed stats. The faster one would win. If Metagross goes first, he can Meteor Mash T-Tar to hell. If T-tar is faster, Fire Blast/EQ will do it.

Metagross' shiny is better than T-Tar's though.
 
Metagross can easily survive T-tar's Earthquake due to that base 130 Defense.
 
Metagross, for many reasons. Great typing, Meteor Mash, Hammer Arm vs Tyranitar, better design, plus it's a fucking super computor on four legs, that beats a big green dinosaur (even though a Tyranitar is fine awesome too.
 
Who do like more?
Tyranitar

Who is more useful?
Tyranitar imo

Who would win in a battle?
Ooo tough one...I'll say Metagross because of the STAB and Super Effective moves.

Who has the better design?
Eh...Tyranitar

I like them both a lot though, Tyranitar just a bit more ^_^
 
Who do like more?

Metagross. It looks so cool.

Who is more useful?

Metagross. The lack of a 4x weakness, and its monstrous attack and defense make it amazingly useful.

Who would win in a battle?

Metagross is faster and has access to hammer arm, which would 1 hit ko Ttar

Who has the better design?

Metagross.
 
Metagross is more useful than Tyranitar. It has only 2 weaknesses, multiple resistances & super high def. It also looks so cool, robotic & futuristic. It's like super genius robot gone mad!! VS a prehistoric cave habitant dinosaur!!
