It’s pretty ironic that a Pokémon that acts like and named after a tyrant is such a good team player.

Tyranitar will forever be aesthetically one of the coolest pokemon designs ever

The Tyranitar theorem is even more impactful in VGC. More team support exists there, some Pokémon are even used entirely for how they can affect their teammates, and how their teammates take advantage of them.

I can't believe Tyranitar got done so dirty. Lost its mega, Pursuit, and Excadrill within 2 generations.

Man went from making competitive history videos to now explaining theorems like a Pokémon professor 🎉

New video idea unlocked 😁 Why Held Items Are Everything: The Latias/Latios Theorem

This is why having duralodon in LC as a teammate in the upcoming dlc is everything

Still hoping for the Incineroar Theorum on why some Pokémon are better in VGC Doubles than Smogon Singles

The ending felt like foreshadowing a Tyranitar remake.

Friendship really is the greatest power of all.

I think the Tyranitar theorum is aptly named but the ending made it sound like it was OP rather than versatile. While it can *do* anything, it does have to choose what role it's fitting on the team. And it's not overbearing in that way. It also reminds me, I don't think you guys have covered 4 Move Slot Syndrome, which I think would be a really good video. i'd love to hear you guys break down the different facets of 4MSS

tyranitar losing pursuit was one thing, losing excadrill was another, but having the 2 best pokemon in gen 9 be the first ground/fighting type who is extremally versatile and perfectly counters it alongside one of the best dark types of all time with the better rock type as its secondary type makes gen 9 feel like a calculated effort to kill tyranitar. iron thorns might've been able to save it, but it's missing 50% of what made tyranitar good in the first place. edit: also sun and snow is everywhere, and garg does all of its utility stuff better while being damn near indestructible.

It’s called a team game for a reason. Any 6v6 battle has to fundamentally think about team synergy.

To the people saying that Tyranitar isn’t good anymore, this has nothing to do with power creep or a nerf. It mostly, if not all has to do with it having a striking lack of teammates in Scarlet & Violet. I have no bias for the Pokémon, in fact I’ve always found it annoying to fight. But I simply can not stand seeing people just looking at it as this major fall off because it isn’t “good” anymore. Mewtwo was struggling a bit in Sword & Shield for some reasons, but in Scarlet & Violet, it is noticeably better. A big part of all of this has to do with the National Dex cut, thus leading to meta shift. I’m not saying that it’s IMPOSSIBLE for Tyranitar to one day become outclassed or something, but people are having such a close minded viewpoint…….

Another theorem Quagsire is a big component of. On stall teams, setup can mean death at so many times, but in gens 5-8, Quagsire is a key component for stall not to immediately talk at the hands of a sweeper thanks to Unaware

Without this channel, I would know less than nothing about competitive. Thank you.

Kellen has truly become not only one of the most consistent channels I watch, but also one of the main reasons I’ve gotten much better at competitive. Keep up the good work, Kellen! These videos are truly amazing, and they just keep getting better!

Extension of the video: If you want more clues about Teamates being everything, just check Tyranitar after Sword and Shield On Scarlet and Violet it's teammates were removed And it's flaws came out in this new metagame, Tera giving him trouble to him and making harder to deal with the cheap damange if you go tera, and the opponent can take sand easier with Tera Steel Great Tusk being a check to most variants of TTar being able to Get 1HKO on any non bulky variant The removal of every important Sand Rush and Sand Force Pokémon And addition of a support mon who did most of the things Tyranitar can do OUTSIDE OF SAND in Garganacle And the rise of opposing weathers Sun due to Past Paradox Pokémon and Snow with Chilly Reception this doesn't mean Tyranitar is no longer good, but it just has a hard time without teammates in this new metagame After all if Sand can't stay in you're better with Garganacle Don't worry Tyranitar fans Once Tyranitar's teamates get back with the DLCs He will remind everyone WHY TEAMMATES ARE EVERYTHING

The bit at the start with Infernape soloing was really nostalgic since that is how I played Platinum when I was younger. I had a level 40 Infernape by the 3rd gym.

I love how you can throw your favorite bad Pokémon on a good team and make it work 😊

Maybe the real theorem was the friends we made along the way

I'd love to see a why accuracy is everything, especially considering how Blizzard lost it's usage past Gen 1 due to it's nerf.

T-tar was the perfect mon for this theorem, the power of friendship is real

Love the fact that the channel has steadily increased the amount of quality videos weekly.

Since you're doing more general concepts like this, i think an interesting one would be "Why Information Is EVERYTHING", since often in competitive Pokemon your goal is to force your opponent to reveal their item or moveset. You could also talk about choice items risk vs reward and team preview.

As far as other really good teammates across the generations, Zapdos with its Ground immunity, switch moves, Defog, and Thunder Wave come to mind, as well as Skarmory's Groundd immunity, hazard stacking, and phasing abilities

How about making theorems for moves. Like: Why power isn't everything - Hyper Beam Theorem Or why accuracy might be everything - Focus Blast Theorem

Always makes me a little worried when my favorite channels start uploading way more often. Don't going burning yourselves out on our account, we don't want to lose these quality videos

We've finally done it. We've reached the theorem on why pokemon are good in pokemon

On 1 hand, the loss of Pursuit is tragic. On the other hand, it's nice that it might mean Psychic types won't be so held back by a single move. Neat analysis video! Thanks for uploading!

Tyranitar: "I used to ruuuule the world, Rain would dry as I gave the word."

My favorite Tyranitar sets were: Stealth Rocks, T-Wave, Fire Blast, Rock Slide & D-Dance, Crunch, Stone Edge, Earthquake/Outrage

I like how team synergy really impacts Pokémon on both Singles and double, which makes the game having more varieties in team builds and fun move sets

My deceased friend had Tyranitar as his favorite. Bet he would be proud to see, how great of a pokemon it is.

Despite Tyranitar being a dark type, he is ultimate chump and always here to help his teammates

Please do the politoad therom next. How field conditions (weather, terrains, entry hazards, trick room, etc) might be everything

I would have named it the Clefable theorem but yes, Tyranitar also fits. Rotom is another OG mate

What about the prankster/Whimmsicott theorem, the value of utility and status moves. It would also be a really interesting video to look at the differences in status moves’ role in singles and doubles too

This video made me realize something: Why did Tyranitar get Sand Stream to begin with? Flygon should've had it, gaining Levitate as a hidden ability down the line, because: Flygon's Ruby Entry: Flygon is nicknamed "the elemental spirit of the desert." Because its flapping wings whip up a cloud of sand, this Pokémon is always enveloped in a sandstorm while flying. Flygon's Sapphire Entry: Flygon whips up a sandstorm by flapping its wings. The wings create a series of notes that sound like singing. Because the "singing" is the only thing that can be heard in a sandstorm, this Pokémon is said to be the desert spirit. If anything Tyranitar should've had Intimidate or Rough Skin.

The next theorem could be why base power is everything the electivire theorem

I do really wish you could have explained/added onto this theorem with WHY T-Tar isnt so good in Scarlet/Violet. To show the reason why the LACK of teammates in OU makes TTar not as good as before.

Flapple is built for Gravity teams in Doubles. Gravity negates Hustle's accuracy drop, while keeping the power boost, and Grav Apple has 120 power in gravity. That means that Flapple with Hustle and Grav Apple in Gravity has an 270 base power move with perfect accuracy and no drawbacks. That lowers the target's Defense by 1.

Woah haven't checked into this channel in a bit and while I love the How GREAT series I love seeing you also branch out into more different types of videos. Keep it up!

Really love these videos! Hope you guys keep up the good work :)

Literally just found your channel and finished the others in this series, PERFECT upload timing!

I have absolutely LOVED this mini series, thank you heaps, False Swipe!

Somewhat surprised no statement like "It doesn't matter if a Pokemon can set up weather or a field effect if no one on your team can make use of it. Sand Rush pokemon, swift swim users, electric and grassy seed, all of these make team mates who can instantly set up these abilities and items vital to them being usable."

I think a video about how Pokémon like Skelidirge and Blissey are better in Ubers than they are in their recommended tier could make for a good theorem. I dunno what if I would call it but I think it’s an interesting topic

The Chansey theorem, why evolving isn't quite everything

The prequel to the "How GREAT was Tyranitar ACTUALLY" remake

Chilly reception is not negative priority as stated in the video. Its just mostly used by the Slowkings and they are... very slow.

Next video: Why being fan-favourite might be EVERYTHING - The Charizard Theorem

I know it's not "competitive" with the moves I used, but I always liked to bring T-tar with sandveil + bright powder G-Chomp to avoid a few hits in the post-game endless areas like battle tree.

1:12 Godlike Transition

False Swipe Gaming please do, “WHY TRIANGLES MATTER: THE PYTHAGOREAN THEOREM.”

There need to be a playlist of these videos titled “Why Everything is EVERYTHING”.

This is the video I've been waiting for! Teamwork is what makes the dream work.

I love the thumbnails y'all use for these Keep it up!👍

Next Theorem: Why Hazards are Close to Everything - The Skarmory Theorem

I feel like vgc deserve is own theorem like why support it's everything the incineroar theorem

U-Turn, Volt Switch, and Flip Turn will forever be defining. Scarlet and Violet DLC should release another one of these moves.

Hey, I really like the pauses inbetween information. It was by no means unlistenable before, but this is a good way to make it more digestible

Yes, finally a team video

Request: "Why Evolution isn't always EVERYTHING - The Torterra Theorem"

I think team support and providing the support is a big part of what held ttar up for so long, as yes it has great stats, but it's typing is one of the worst and this is why team support matters

How many theorems could be named The Tyranitar Theorem? "Why Weather is so powerful? The Tyranitar Theorem" *Why teammates are so important. The Tyranitar Theorem." "Why a 4x weakness really isn't that big of a deal. The Tyranitar Theorem."

I like that varied content is being made

Next video: "Why flashing lights are EVERYTHING, the Porygon Therom" ...Im so wrong for this💀

Would you guys consider making some videos based on doubles? I love your content, and I would really like you guys to go into the differences of both formats

Another great video!!

Mega-Tyranitar had a great time in Gen 8 AG, when AG was dominated by Yveltal, Mega Ray, and especially Calyrex Shadow there was a Team that paired nasty walls like ingrain Xerneas, coil Zygarde and Mega TTar with Iron defense rest roar and pursuit to reliably check Calyrex shadow and dont die to groudon or mega ray that wanted to check/set up. the combination was basically unkillable without changing your team to a very situational based moveset.

Why HP Aren't everything the Drifblim Theorem (It also could be the Rotom or Guzzlord Theorem)

ah there it is. not only my daily footage of tyranitar, but a whole video about it. nothing less expected from the official tyranitar fan channel.

How did the Physical / Special split changed everything: the Gyrados theorem

rip tyranitar 😢

We can’t forget about incineroar, who is probably the single best doubles support Pokémon in gen 8, having intimate, snarl, parting shot, fake out, high bulk and decent attack. Of course I think cresselia has made a really good impact in gen 9 now with its new move lunar blessing. Jungle healing was similar but cresselia’s bulk is way higher so I think it takes the cake as the best partner in doubles in gen 9 for now

Can't wait for the "Why Items are almost everything" vid. But now to enjoy this one.

Poison types absorbing toxic spikes comes to mind as one of those small niche ways to help teammates. Particularly bulky or life orb sweepers.

Next theorem video: Kingambit Theorem It goes through why positioning a team and timing can make or break a match

I love how T-Tar shaped the meta around it in a healthy way throughout so many gens. I have to wonder, when's T-Tar remake actually?

I skipped at just the right parts of the ad to make it say “manscaped will false swipe at your face, well thank you.”

0:30 The Choice Scarf Adaptability Last Respects Basculegion in question:

flexibility is everything, The calirex teorem

How rng CAN be everything, the focus blast theory

I had a bug type team back in gen 5, the strategy was simple: Ninjask baton pass sweep. But with an extra: a plan B called Shedinja.

These theorem vids are awesome I dont play comp but its entertaining 100%

I have really enjoyed their battle theorem videos

“No every starter can serve” 💅

Shoutout to Whimsicott’s Tailwind as well as Grimmsnarl’s double screens and thunder wave as iconic enablers in the series

1:02 marshtomp nicknamed I, just for "I fainted!"

Why Weather is / was everything - The Politoed Theorem

The Hyper Beam Theorem - or why drawbacks are EVERYTHING. Or similar; The Thunder Theorem - or why accuracy is EVERYTHING (and thunder is a good example here due to how it does see use when, for example, rain is prominent).

I love this channel y’all. Just felt like dropping that

I'd never have cleared black city, the PWT, and the train station in Nimbasa without tyranitar, excadrill, swampert, gliscor, ferrothorn and skarmory. My first weather team and man did it put in work

Can't wait for why items are everything

My favorite pokemon channel with the fire Theorem yet again 🎉

Why Entry Hazards Might Be Everything: The fortress or Ferrothorn

Switch ins remind me of the concept called yomi, which is to read the opponent. Strategy A beats strategy B, and strategy A loses to strategy C. So if you are operating on the first layer, you will be spamming strategy A. On the second layer, you know your opponent will counter your A and C, which is where you apply strategy B. But if your opponent is operating on the third layer, they know that you know you have a counter available so you stick with strategy A to counter their counter.
