...And longer reach is nulled by CQC superiority. Nidoking's advantage.
As for the turning of the back, it isn't an issue because Ty isn't going to be doing anything except hitting the floor as he awaits his Horn Drill.
Being slightly faster isn't even a real advantage. It's not like he's too fast for Ttar to react to, lol.
Nidoking's tail is useless. It snaps telephone poles, right? Tyranitar > Telephone pole. Can't trip Tyranitar, he's too heavy and large. His tail would also help to keep balance.
Tyranitar's strength is far greater than Nidoking's. Nidoking's only hope would be if he could evade everything Tyranitar does, which he does not have the speed for.
i keep hearing u all say "slight speed advantage" when that is obviously not the case. 25% increased speed is in no way slight! 45mph>20mph(max of 100mph) do u see? that is no where near slight, & nido has a higher max stat than ty anyway, so me making the comparison have a max of 100mph is actually helping ty! meaning nido could run circles around ty, & just in case u didnt c it the first time: 45mph>20mph(max of 100mph) O_o

o dont worry he'll get thru...& he doesnt hav 2 hit a vital organ, do you see the size of that horn? most likely ty'll just succumb 2 epic blood loss if he gets stabbed anywhere. plus that horn secretes venom, if the blood loss doesnt get to him, the poison will...oh & dont worry about nido geting hit by ty, ty will most likely break his hand trying 2 hit nido; steel-like hide>rocky hide

How does King evade being grabbed just because its good at CQC? Would have to be more agile then he is.Not really. Turns his back to use its tail, is grabbed. Isnt grabbed and manages to wrap his tail around, is then grabbed.
Come on, guys. Nidoking would have to be more agile? Please. Tyranitar is the one who would need to be more agile to even dream about grabbing Nidoking before he gets pawned.
500 lbs is not a lot of wieght to move, especially for a pokemon who topple metal transmission towers in one swing with the very same tail. I thought you would know that, guys 🙁...
Someone needs to bring some new feats for Tyranitar, because Nidoking is winning pretty handily.

Based on what? Being slightly faster which isn't even a real advantage? What in the hell are you basing this bullshit on? Nidoking has no agility feats. He is faster, and it isn't anywhere close to fast enough.
If you have ever been in a fight, you would know that even being 1% faster is the difference between landing a hit and getting hit. That's not even factoring in the skill difference between Nidoking and Tyranitar.
