So this is the part where I post my thoughts even though I'm not all that experienced with the tier.
Metagame Trends:
As far as tyrantrums actual usage during the suspect, lets just say it was far and few. Any accurate perception of this mon was probably made better before the suspect than during it. I think I saw a total 4 tyrantrums throughout my roughly 60 battles of reqs. That being said, as somebody who isn't a common in this tier but plays it here and there and contributes whenever there is a suspect, I can't really give a 100% accurate analyses on the mon itself. What I can do is try though.
Is it actually broken?
Any set that isn't scarfed shouldn't even be mentioned in this thread because those aren't even close to being broken. The only set that needs to be focused on is the scarf set. I've read some posts on here about the scarf set and the general idea im getting is that the scarf set is super easy to support and can make offense look like dog shit. The part about it being super easy to support actually makes a lot of sense and kinda convinced me to maybe change my vote. The unfortunate thing is, nobody uses the scarf set on the ladder lol. Any competant RU players uses it, but you just don't see it as much as band or DD sets for some reason. I bleve I ended up seeing 3 DD rantrums and 1 band rantrum.
Another thing I can say I guess is that usually when you don't see the suspected mon being used during the suspect that there can be a case of centralization, but even though the usage wasn't there I don't think centralization is an issue looking at the mons in the tier. All in all well played scarf tyrantrums are probably broken but the chances of finding a scarf tyrantrum with the perfect support and someone who doesn't choke with are literally 1 in a million so I'm just gunna abstain on this one.
