pretty much a ressemblance to dark tyrannitar back in rse era. I like the idea of a 1 prizer trying to stop this op ex dudes
 
If Tyranitar was good this would be amazing. PUPTIAR HAS FREAKING ASCENSION THAT DEALS DAMAGE. I mean Froslass Ttar could be interesting but Froslass is kinda its own thing right now
 
It looks like a lot of the TR pokemon have fairly generic energy costs, which makes TR energy useful for all of them even if they aren't dark. IDK how useful the sandstorm effect will be, the attack itself feels just kinda okay. We'll just have to see how this TR toolbox deck ends up.
