Agree 100% that Sand Rush is necessary. It has the ability to make this pokemon faster than strong fire, water and flying types that may pose a threat to this pokemon or tyranitar. And it just works in sand storm... If anything this is a REQUIREMENT.

OK though despite my agreeing posts I'm going to break the rules and suggest a Non-Sandstorm ability because I believe that it's typing is good enough for a Sandstorm team and it's getting 2 abilities anyways.
I propose the ability Intimidate, although this makes it a Landorus with a grass typing, This pokemon is designed to switch in a lot of Threats that may endanger Tyranitar or simply be at its side, what better way to do it then with the classic ability itself.
With Intimidate Physical hitter such as Landorus, fighting types, Steel types like mawile and scizor and Mega Kangaskhan (with the exception of Bisharp)
One scenario could be switching this pokemon in on a Landorus and considering how weak Landorus is to this pokemon our CAP pokemon could make a prediction or set up on landorus or ko its partner.
Intimidate would come at the price of having to deal with Bisharp unfortunately, but its Ground typing can take care of it IF NOT for their common use of Focus Sash.
Most of the heavy hitters of the current meta are physical so an ability like this will surely help out with this pokemon's assistance to Sand teams

No custom moves/abilities though
Anyway Soundproof seems really cool. Tyranitar has huge issues against MGarde and Sylveon, and Excadrill can't really switch in on them repeatedly. Since most of the reasoning behind the typing seemed to be defensive, another couple threats to beat doesn't hurt.
Also fuck Perish Trap.
I'm going to agree with Sand Rush on this one. As far as Sand-related abilities go, the options are a bit limited, and I think that Sand Rush lets the CAP pose the largest offensive threat to compliment its good offensive/defensive typing. Some other non sand abilities mentioned could have some merit as a secondary/hidden abilities, but Sand Rush utilizes its typing and the weather to the fullest, and should therefore be the primary ability.
Not sure if Arcticblast is serious about soundproof, or I can't tell a joke.
Though sound proof would stop things like hyper voice, it wouldn't stop moon blast or other pixelated moves. And it isn't that hard to switch one of those moves up to mess up that strategy.
Anyway, intimidate can be used by a number of other mons on the team like Hitmontop or Scrafty, and doesn't really address the problem with mons like Keldeo and Politoed. It doesn't really seem to be what would benefit Ttar and Excadrill the most. Being able to move faster than the opponent and take out these threats is the best thing we can do for a mon with Grass/Ground typing.
My vote is for sand rush. Unless we want to go off the wall and give it something ridiculous like storm drain.
