just cuz its an encyclopedia doesnt mean it cant exaggerate, has it ever been proved that tyranitar can topple a mountain? no, its not been seen in the manga or the anime, its just been speculated by the professors who study them due 2 their immense strength. i mean could regigigas really tie ropes 2 the continent & move them? well y can he b defeated by regular pokemon, same with ty, y is it if he can flatten mountains he cant stand up 2 a single Brick Break from nido?

i thought canon meant something that was actually SEEN...hmm

No, it's the encyclopedia on pokemon. It's fact. Canon fact.

Right, an encyclopedia created by Prof. Oak. Using his scientific opinions. Which are still opinions.

Yeah, I don't accept this pokedex business. Maybe a Tyrannitar can flatten a mountain given a 100,000 years or something.

There's no choice in the matter really. 😐 It's canon.

It's canon in that its stated in the game, nothing more.

It's a dubious description, with to my knowledge, zero visual support that could even hint at such a level. Now if it said Groudon could do that, maybe I'd believe it.

The games are full of crap like that. A Gyarados created a lake by causing a massive lake-size crater just be thrashing. Groudon can move continents and shit, Tyranitar can certainly destroy mountains.

he can destroy mountains...big deal, he cant stand up 2 a Brick Break from nido so it doesnt matter...& if we're gonna start reading pages outta the pokedex, nido could finish ty off with a Megahorn; his horn can pierce diamonds, so im sure it could pierce the hide of a tyranitar.

Actually, you're missing the point, a brick break from Nidoking won't do shit. Also, at best the horn will scratch Tyranitar

1. where in the pokedex does it say his hide is tougher than diamonds? nowhere...meaning nido could tear right thru ty's flesh & leave him with a deadly poison

2. just read up & i found ty can only rearrange maps with his Earthquake, which he doesnt hav...

3. since when does x4 damage = shit?

Go read the pokedex entry that tells you that Tyranitar can survive nearly any attack 😐

Pokemon don't kill each other anyway.

keyword: nearly

Actually, I added that word.
"Gold Its body can't be harmed by any sort of attack, so it is very eager to make challenges against enemies. "
"Silver Extremely strong, it can change the landscape. It has an insolent nature that makes it not care about others. "
"Crystal In just one of its mighty hands, it has the power to make the ground shake and mountains crumble. "

Three pokedex entries there all say it wins.

So Godzillatar wins yes?

Yes.

No.
Yellow: "Its steel-like hide adds to its powerful tackle. Its horn is so hard it can pierce diamond."
Sapphire: "Nidoking's thick tail packs enormously destructive power. With one swing it can topple a metal transmission tower. Once this Pokémon goes on a rampage, there's no stopping it."
LeafGreen: It uses its powerful tail in battle to smash, constrict, then break the prey's bones."
That means u tyranitar!

See how Nidoking topples towers, and Tyranitar crushes mountains? Tyranitar wins.
