Choice Band Tyranitar is a great wallbreaker in UU, being able to 2HKO the tier's physical walls such as Skarmory and Donphan with Stone Edge and Knock Off, respectively. Earthquake allows Tyranitar to hit the likes of Tinkaton and Bisharp for super effective damage, while Ice Punch is used to hit Hydrapple and is more reliable than Stone Edge against Hydreigon and Salamence. Tera Dark further increases the power of Knock Off and removes Tyranitar's Rock typing, which improves its matchup against Serperior, Greninja, and Metagross. Alternatively, Tera Ground can be used to OHKO Toxapex and Cobalion with Earthquake while letting Tyranitar block Volt Switch from Thundurus-T and Sandy Shocks.
Tyranitar fits best on bulky offense and balance teams as a wallbreaker that can punch holes in opposing teams. Sand Rush Excadrill in particular is an amazing partner, being able to use Rapid Spin to clear entry hazards that chip into Tyranitar's health and use Tyranitar's summoned sand to revenge kill the likes of Greninja and Galarian Zapdos. Tyranitar also struggles to hit the field, so pivots such as Rotom-Wash, Fezandipiti, and Slowking all enable it to do so. Tyranitar also struggles against Fighting-types such as Conkeldurr, Keldeo, and Galarian Zapdos, so answers to them such as Clodsire and Toxapex are greatly appreciated. Sinistcha is another great partner, being able to deal with the likes of Slither Wing and Excadrill. Stealth Rock setters such as Heatran and Tinkaton can wear down the opposing team, making it easier for Tyranitar to wallbreak.
