Competitive Landscape
In the ultra league, where CP is capped at 2500, a select group of Pokémon reign supreme. Tyranitar remains a formidable force with its powerful Dark and Rock moves, while Giratina (Origin Forme) offers excellent survivability and Dragon Claw potential. Cresselia has emerged as a dominant tank with its bulk and Moonblast coverage.
Value Proposition
Tyranitar excels in matchups against Fighting and Ghost types but struggles against Fairies. Giratina (Origin Forme) boasts ghostly attributes and tankiness but is weak to Fairy-type attacks. Cresselia provides unmatched survivability with its Psycho Cut and Moonblast combo but lacks damage output against Dark and Fire.
Strategic Considerations
The best choice among these Pokémon depends on the team composition and matchup expectations. Tyranitar is a solid pick for covering common threats like Machamp and Haunter. Giratina (Origin Forme) provides a strong counter to Cresselia and other bulky Pokémon. Cresselia excels as a tank against Shadow Claw users and provides a safe switch in many situations.
