[SET COMMENTS]
Tyranitar is a bulky offensive Pokemon that can tank hits from common threats like Dragapult and Mimikyu, then KO them back. This bulky offense set, unlike other Tyranitar sets, beats Life Orb or Curse Mimikyu, special Aegislash, and certain stall threats at the same time. Rock Tomb helps against Mimikyu and Mandibuzz by lowering the speed of opposing Pokemon. Crunch is a STAB move for Ghost-types like Dragapult, Galarian Corsola, and Aegislash. Heavy Slam is mandatory to OHKO Mimikyu after Rock Tomb; it also improves the matchup against other Fairy-types like Whimsicott and Togekiss. Taunt helps against Aegislash and stall threats such as Galarian Corsola, Arcanine, Mandibuzz, and Noble Roar Kyurem. Expert Belt allows Tyranitar to OHKO Togekiss and non-Bold Sylveon, whereas Weakness Policy allows Tyranitar to beat slower Corviknight in tandem with Taunt. The given defensive investment lets Tyranitar survive Adamant Life Orb Mimikyu's Play Rough into Shadow Sneak, and 224 Spe EVs guarantee that it will outpace non-Choice Scarf Mimikyu after Rock Tomb.

Since Tyranitar is weak to Water-types such as Dracovish, Primarina, and Milotic, Electric-types like Zeraora and Grass-types like Whimsicott are good partners. In return, Tyranitar defeats Aegislash, some Incineroar, and other threats they struggle with. Tyranitar is weak to a host of physical attackers with super effective moves, including Galarian Darmanitan, Sawk, Excadrill, Haxorus, and Avalugg. To defeat them, you can use physical walls such as Galarian Corsola and stall Arcanine, which appreciate Tyranitar beating the likes of Dragapult and Whimsicott. Furthermore, using partners that seem weak to Mimikyu will maximize this set's effectiveness as a lure. Dracozolt is weak to Mimikyu and can beat Water-types, and Galarian Corsola and Mandibuzz work similarly to support the lure as physical walls.

[SET COMMENTS]
Tyranitar can forgo a Choice item for the ability to defeat non-Choice Scarf Mimikyu and stall threats. what? Please add an actual overview, also, where is Choice coming from?. Rock Tomb is preferred over Stone Edge You haven’t even described A. What this set does B. Why you’re running rock tomb, C. Why you would ever be running stone edge. This makes absolutely no sense as an introduction. because it lowers the Speed of opposing Pokemon, especially Mimikyu and Mandibuzz. Heavy Slam is mandatory to OHKO Mimikyu after Rock Tomb; it also improves the matchup against other Fairy-types like Whimsicott and Togekiss. Taunt helps against Aegislash and stall threats such as Galarian Corsola, Arcanine, Mandibuzz, and Noble Roar Kyurem. Crunch allows Tyranitar to beat X, Y, Z. Expert Belt boosts Tyranitar's power enough allows Tyranitar to OHKO Togekiss and non-Bold Sylveon, whereas Weakness Policy allows Tyranitar to beat Corviknight in tandem with Rock Tomb and Taunt. The given defensive investment lets Tyranitar survive Adamant Life Orb Mimikyu's Play Rough into Shadow Sneak, and 224 Spe EVs guarantee that it will outpace non-Choice Scarf Mimikyu after a Rock Tomb once Mimikyu's Speed has been lowered by Rock Tomb. The rest of the EVs are dumped into Attack in conjunction with an Adamant nature.

Since Tyranitar is weak to Water-types such as Dracovish, Primarina, and Milotic, Electric-types like Zeraora and Grass-types like Whimsicott are good partners. In return, Tyranitar defeats Necrozma, Aegislash, some Incineroar, and other threats they struggle with. Tyranitar is weak to a host of physical attackers with super effective moves, including Galarian Darmanitan, Sawk, Excadrill, Haxorus, and Avalugg. To defeat them, you can use physical walls such as Corviknight and stall Arcanine, which appreciate Tyranitar beating the likes of Dragapult and Whimsicott. Furthermore, using partners that seem weak to Mimikyu will maximize this set's effectiveness as a lure. Dracozolt is weak to Mimikyu and can beat Water-types, and Galarian Corsola and Mandibuzz work similarly to support the lure as physical walls.

Your Mimikyu matchup relies on it being A. Not Choice Band and B. Not Choice Scarf, please make this apparent as just having Mimikyu lures isn’t a great idea, because you only beat 2/4 sets. Also your intro is quite bad.

Fix everything and tag me.

I changed Corviknight to "slower Corviknight" because you can't beat it if it's faster. It will use Iron Defense and spam Iron Head until you die thanks to its defense boost:
0 Atk Corviknight Iron Head vs. 8 HP / 164 Def Tyranitar: 122-146 (35.5 - 42.5%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
112+ Atk Tyranitar Crunch vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Corviknight: 127-151 (31.7 - 37.7%) -- 90.4% chance to 3HKO
+2 112+ Atk Tyranitar Crunch vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Corviknight: 255-301 (63.7 - 75.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
112+ Atk Tyranitar Crunch vs. +2 252 HP / 0 Def Corviknight: 64-76 (16 - 19%) -- possible 6HKO
+2 112+ Atk Tyranitar Crunch vs. +2 252 HP / 0 Def Corviknight: 127-151 (31.7 - 37.7%) -- 90.4% chance to 3HKO

The Band Mimikyu vs Tyranitar matchup is complicated. You need an Adamant nature and Drain Punch to win:
252+ Atk Choice Band Mimikyu Drain Punch vs. 8 HP / 164 Def Tyranitar: 336-396 (97.9 - 115.4%) -- 87.5% chance to OHKO
252 Atk Choice Band Mimikyu Drain Punch vs. 8 HP / 164 Def Tyranitar: 304-360 (88.6 - 104.9%) -- 31.3% chance to OHKO
252+ Atk Mimikyu Drain Punch vs. 8 HP / 164 Def Tyranitar: 224-264 (65.3 - 76.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

remove alternative

Crunch is an alternative STAB move for

ada drain punch is p usual on band, also still loses to scarf. Designate LO or Curse Mimikyu for QC 1

This bulky offense set, unlike other Tyranitar sets, beats Life Orb or Curse Mimikyu, special Aegislash, and certain stall threats at the same time. Rock Tomb helps against Mimikyu and Mandibuzz by lowering the speed of opposing Pokemon. Crunch is a STAB move for Ghost-types like Dragapult, Galarian Corsola, and Aegislash and Psychic-types like Jirachi; i would remove this, since you're losing 60% of the time it's also the most powerful move against stall Pokemon it hits neutrally such as Corviknight, Arcanine that has used Burn Up, and Rotom-W. obv Heavy Slam is mandatory to OHKO Mimikyu after Rock Tomb; it also improves the matchup against other Fairy-types like Whimsicott and Togekiss. Taunt helps against Aegislash and stall threats such as Galarian Corsola, Arcanine, Mandibuzz, and Noble Roar Kyurem. Expert Belt allows Tyranitar to OHKO Togekiss and non-Bold Sylveon, whereas Weakness Policy allows Tyranitar to beat slower Corviknight in tandem with Taunt.

Since Tyranitar is weak to Water-types such as Dracovish, Primarina, and Milotic, Electric-types like Zeraora and Grass-types like Whimsicott are good partners. In return, Tyranitar defeats Aegislash, some non-Close Combat Incineroar, and other threats they struggle with. Tyranitar is weak to a host of physical attackers with super effective moves, including Galarian Darmanitan, Sawk, Excadrill, Haxorus, and Avalugg. To defeat them, you can use physical walls such as Corviknight corv loses to banddarm, i would find a better example if possible and stall Arcanine, which appreciate Tyranitar beating the likes of Dragapult and Whimsicott. Furthermore, using partners that seem weak to Mimikyu will maximize this set's effectiveness as a lure. Dracozolt is weak to Mimikyu and can beat Water-types, and Galarian Corsola and Mandibuzz work similarly to support the lure as physical walls.

archiving this - it was designed almost entirely to beat mimikyu. Unsalvageable
