For those that attended pokemon league during the castelia season(ends Feb 17, 2013), you will be able to receive a Pokemon in similar fashion like the DW scizor and garchomp. This pokemon for playing in the castelia season will be a level 55 Tyranitar with DW ability unnerve, and with moves of payback, crunch, earthquake, and seismic toss. Release date TBA but if following like the others, end of this month or early march

...they really need to stop just releasing fully evolved forms of Pokemon whose DW ability has long already been available in the DW...yeah technically not everyone can log on or do DW, but if you can't do that, odds are likely you can't go online to download these Pokemon anyways...

Anyways, as far as Unnerve goes, it's kinda uninspiring considering how instant Sandstorm is the main reason to run Ttar. Now granted, Unnerve can be pretty powerful in VGC as it shuts down damage-reducing berries as well, meaning you can Ice Beam that Garchomp carrying Yache safely into oblivion. So I mean, you can build around it as Ttar is one of the stronger users of it with regards to VGC if you aren't aiming for SS usage. Otherwise your best options are like Haxorus and Houndoom, both of which are more frail sweepers compared to the bulk Ttar has even without SS.
 
Best Unnerve - Aerodactyl. Tyranitar not so much, like Regis Neo said.

Now my argument for Regis Neo - for the casual player, like those who are interested in the VGC who go to league, these are perfect. It offers an immediate solution to the hidden abilities to those who are looking for them and with them already fully evolved it means that these casual players have a more powerful solution then what is available in-game to get through the elite four and can take them to a regional and still be alright.

I guarantee you that 75% (or greater) of TCG league players haven't beat the video game yet up to the elite four. Getting a level 50+ pokemon that will obey you absolutely free is amazing, and it will push them to beat the game because they don't have to go though the whole level-grinding process. And then they can take these guys and use them in a VGC tournament. Sure, they aren't "top notch" like those who work more extensively in the VG, but they are good pokemon that are commonly used in the VG meta. Garchomp, Scizor, Tyranitar are all highly used in the VGC although the abilities may not match the more common used ones.

I say this is an amazing idea that TPCI has done to keep VG players going to league as well as getting TCG players interested in the VG.
 
Regardless of whether you can get it in the DW or not, Pokemon like Scizor, Garchomp and Tyranitar are so awesome that it makes me want to attend Pokemon League just once to get them.
 
Going to league today; it took them 2 weeks to report me last time. They had no idea what I was talking about, and the girl that runs league was weird to talk to; so I made an information packet so they can just read it.

Good thing you're goin today. It's the last day of castelia season
 
It's been 3 days since I went; and no update yet. Last time they took 2 weeks; when I go to league next week I'm going to complain that the reporting is taking too long.
