That is so cool, I'll definitely be trying that (though maybe not with Dratini because I'm a little set with her right now)

Picking a Pokémon by looks isn't the best way to go. Although a lot of the powerful ones look incredibly badass (Gyarados, Tyranitar, Scizor, Salamence, etc.), you want to use whatever Pokémon fills a role/provides a resistance your team needs.
By picking on looks (I bet you're a Mac user
) you miss out on some incredibly useful Pokémon; Blissey is the perfect example. With 255 base HP and 135 base Special Defense, she is hands down the best special wall in the game.
Also, Scizor may look cooler than Forretress, but you wouldn't use it over Forrestress for only that reason.

And I know from Pokemon Stadium 2 if Tyranitar does not have good enough moves, it misses out on a lot of it's potential. Choosing moves are important, don't have to necesarily be the strongest, but have a couple of surprises, like teaching Houndoom Solar beam. Also sometimes you can get cocky with Tyranitar, despite the fact it has a large weakness to fighting moves, and if an enemy manages to get a "revenge" on it, it can take a lot of damage. I remember when I got my first Tyranitar, it was Augast 28th, 2001 (the day my youngest brother was born 
)
If looks were realy important, Absol would be better, and Mew would be beaten by Vigoroth.

Absol actually has a ridiculously high attack stat, it's just too frail to stay in long enough to use it well.
Definitely right on about teaching it the right moves. For instance, in Diamond and Pearl, you wouldn't want to teach Gyarados Surf over Waterfall (or Hydro Pump over Aqua Tail) just because of Surf's higher base power. If you did that, you would be doing a lot less damage since Gyarados's Special Attack is much lower than its Attack.
