Nidoking vs Tyranitar

No, the earthquake his hand generated was able to crumble the mountain. Not that it matters, but that move is banned in this fight.

If his hand is generating the earthquake then that's a strength/durability feat. The pokedex statements are making it clear that its his physical strength that is the catalyst, read over them again dude.

Ugh! Link, I want to know where in that Pokedex entry it stated that Tyranitar required the use of Earthquake to destroy the mountains.

Let me tell you now, the technique Earthquake, and the feat of reshaping landscapes where not even mentioned in the same sentence.

The ground quakes, mountains crumble. How can you not see it?

He's doing that with his strength, not as a special.

Your making another assumption...

to reshape a landscape is obviously going to create vast tremours, even if you used a massive nuclear bomb or blast of energy. This does not mean he used the Earthquake technique to do it.

So? It's still an earthquake causing it to crumble.
He certainly didn't get on top of it and ram it into the earth; unless you have proof, that is.

Read the OP.

The technique Earthquake is disabled. But not techiques that cause tremours. Otherwise most of the techniques (especially earth based ones) would be banned under that assumption.

In just one of its mighty hands, it has the power to make the ground shake and mountains crumble.

Not to crumble mountains.

For the record, being so strong you can crumble mountains by shaking the ground nearby with your own strength is an even better feat. Dunno why 5L is shooting for that.

"Pokémon often disobey Newton's Third Law: Attacks, such as Hyper Beam, that blast the target backwards do nothing of the sort to the user. This is especially notable with flying or levitating Pokémon; they can't even brace themselves against the ground."

Seems like we have a case of that here.

Paste, you still drink cat pee despite your championing of the powah of Tyraninaut.

Interesting, where is that from?

Now, something like that an icebeam from Articuno or some other legendary may have some mystic stuff at work. Shouldn't apply for a pure strength beast like Tyraninaut.

Like everything from any media thats ever used a beam attack?

I found it on Bulbapedia under "Anime Physics".

So, anyone found any substance on that mountain flattening yet?

First and foremost, It requires no further extrapolation than what has been provided.

Secondly, characters have done this before, just ask Screampaste about Gouki sinking an island with a punch, and how much of a headache that gave him.

Thirdly, why are you knitpicking this? I can get snide and say "at least it's not a no limits fallacy".... oh wait.

That still doesn't modify the interpretation away from an earthquake being the cause of the crumbling mountains.

We cast aside those no-limits fallacies pages ago. Shin just brought it back up.

It would say 'to' crumble mountains. This says that it can do these two things.
