ugh, I hate the weird level issue that plagues everything after the sixth gym up until, like, the eighth gym in Heart Gold and the original Gen 2 games
why is almost everything ten or more levels lower than my pokemon
where is fire punch for covering those pesky steel types
dragon dance/crunch/stone edge/fire punch, sorted

Why would you get aerial ace? Just curious.

Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.
with enough dragon dances such a TTar would hopefully be able to move first and OHKO a fighting type

with enough dragon dances you'd be able to ohko said fighting type with fire punch anyway, unless it was a poliwrath or some shit
and be able to destroy any steel types that would cockblock you otherwise

You'd be freaking crazy to keep him in and fire punch handles bug.
EDIT: You are thinking about it the wrong way. You take out the DD T-tar's direct counters before he gets in, so they can't do a safety switch. One DD isn't going to let you outspeed the majority of sweepers anyway, and the attack boost isn't enough to make THAT significant of a difference.
Just about any fighting attack will destroy him. Even a mach punch from hitmontop.

I would like a slaking without truant. If we are talking dreamstuff. Maybe a ground/fighting pokemon too. Just for giggles and what not. Call it grapla or some other nonsense. Final evolution is nekidgreek.

Slaking can't be without Truant. He's basically an uber.

I have a podcast now. It's about video games and anime!Find it here.
Give him leftovers, giga impact, substitute, ice punch/earthquake and let him learn hammer arm. He owns like that already with truant. Replace that and he would be way overpowered. I would love every second of it too. Pair him with a ninjask with sword dance and baton pass and you have a wtf combo.
I have 27 Mews in my Emerald version (emerald cloning glitch, no hacks)
so
make a post with your FC in it and i'll make a list. I'll probably give them away late tomorrow, midday Thursday, maybe Sunday.
Try not to ask for one if i've already given you one.
Also, the Mews are completely crappy
I posted this in G&T as well, so supplies are limited! Act Fast!
Protect and/or Substitute hard-counters Slaking. If the other guy has a Substitute/stat-up sweeper, or anything with Protect and a few strong attacks, Slaking is utterly boned (and if you don't respond to that threat fast enough, your entire time may be as well). Slaking should have Shadow Claw, Pursuit or Sucker Punch to deal with Ghost-types (especially more durable ones like Rotom-A/Dusknoir/Spiritomb) who could fuck you over if they switch in on the proper attack.
Aqua Tail is another option for Tyranitar of every variety, good for dealing with bulky Ground-types and for neutral coverage in general. Shame about the accuracy, but at least it's not Thunder or Focus Blast. Fire Punch really only works if you carry a Babiri Berry to guarantee that Tyranitar survives stuff like Scizor's Bullet Punch. You can sit in on what they expect to be a KO, then surprise them by surviving and lethally retaliating.
Of course, you could give Tyranitar Leftovers/Lum Berry/Life Orb instead for a less situational tool, and be extra sneaky about scouting for and KOing Steel-types. A double-switch can do the trick, or just attack the Scizor as it switches in instead of Dancing, then switch in something that can eat Scizor's attack (something that can take a Bullet Punch, U-turn and/or Superpower on the chin). Next time it tries to switch in, it should be weakened enough to possibly finish it off.
You could also run Tyranitar and Lucario together. Their defensive answers are generally the same Pokemon, so you can weaken switch-ins with one, then finish the job with the other. And if the other guy happens to actually not have a sufficiently effective answer to one or the other, you win anyway.

Skarmory, Bronzong: Nope.
Scizor, Forretress: Much better to use fire punch
Lucario: Doesn't matter, you'd be stupid to put T-tar in against him anyway.
Metagross: Again, not a wise idea to keep a D-dancing T-tar against him
Empoleon: I'll grant you that.
Magnezone: They really shouldn't be sending this in against a T-tar anyway.
And that about covers the useful ones.
Aggron would go down like a sack of potatoes, though. But Aggron is unfortunately terribly typed.

What else?
Using Hyper Voice will cause an avalanche which will bury you alive
stone edge or rock slide
Pokemon based on cold-blooded animals faint when brought out
They keep making very small changes but it is indeed too bad that they dont try something a bit more radical.
Probably Stone Edge then.
Leaves him open to ground though.
although avalanche probably wouldn't do too well on a DD Tyranitar
Most of what is weak to rock can be taken out by Ice Punch or just sheer overwhelming abuse.
why is almost everything ten or more levels lower than my pokemon
That pretty much confirms this is DSi enhanced or exclusive. Unless the music on the cart already but that would be kind of lame
woah woah woah

if you want something that inflicts status effects
use a different attack
No it was a good idea. Buff might not be the word to use though.
Rebalance them to make them useful though ? Sure
Lower the damage to 100 and erase the cool down. Or make it like overheat and have it lower a stat instead but keep the power.
maybe they could have different effects depending on the starter using them
Slaking can't be without Truant. He's basically an uber.
Although, no combo for T-tar is going to be perfect.
Anyway, anyone want one of the extras I end up breeding?
Oh hey, they're getting both Outrage and Dragon Dance from the dad. Neat.
