[OVERVIEW]
Tyrantrum with Dragon Dance can become a threat since it becomes a somewhat speedy sweeper. It doesn’t out speed most popular Pokémon but it can easily KO threats like Regidrago, Flygon, which can also KO it with the right moveset, and Noivern.

[SET]
Name: Dragon Dance Sweeper
Move 1: Dragon Dance
Move 2: Dragon Tail
Move 3: Dragon Claw
Move 4: Breaking Swipe/Head Smash
Item: Expert Belt
Ability: Rock Head
Nature: Jolly
EVs: 4 HP/ 252 Atk/ 252 Spe

[SET COMMENTS]
With Expert Belt for super effective attacks, Dragon Dance, and 252 Atk, you’re going to be sweeping teams very frequently. This set can easily KO Regidrago with a good hit from Dragon Claw and Noivern with a Head Smash, and because of Rock Head you’ll take no recoil damage.

Dragon Dance is your main mode of setting up to sweep. Dragon Tail is used to get rid of threats like Klefki, Gardevoir, Mimikyu, and Dragon Dance Flygon in situations where you have no other switch-ins but your opponent does. Dragon Claw is for attacking things like Regidrago and Noivern. Head Smash is almost strictly for fire types like Incineroar, and flying types like Noivern.
Since it is mainly just a sweeper against super effective Pokémon, it should only be used against Pokémon that it can easily KO.

[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
===========
Ice fang can be used as a substitute for Dragon Tail to hit Flygon for 4x super effective hits. However, doing this is risky.

Checks and Counters
=================
**Steel-types**: Steel-type Pokémon like Bronzong, Lucario, and Klefki can easily take down Tyrantrum.

**Ice-types **: Since Tyrantrum has a 4x weakness to ice, Hail teams can cripple it.

**Fairy-types**: Gardevoir and Klefki can easily KO Tyrantrum making it useless.

I'm sorry, but your analysis currently does not meet the QC team's standards, so we'll have to reassign it. First, the set is simply unviable compared to the standard moveset (see below), and secondly, you get some basic facts wrong; for example, you mention two Fairy-types to hit Dragon Tail with, which doesn't leave us with much confidence in your knowledge about the RU tier. I'm glad you want to contribute to RU analyses and if you want a second go at writing about Tyrantrum, PM me a draft of a mini analysis (format found here) written in bullet points with this Tyrantrum set:

[SET]
Name: Dragon Dance
Move 1: Dragon Dance
Move 2: Head Smash
Move 3: Close Combat
Move 4: Scale Shot
Item: Shuca Berry
Ability: Rock Head
Nature: Jolly
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe

I recommend that you build some teams and play a bunch on the RU ladder before reserving another analysis. You can also always join the official RU discord server where you can ask other players anything you need help with: link found here.
