Mega Tyranitar is a fantastic setup sweeper on hyper offensive Dark teams because of its access to Dragon Dance. This allows it to outspeed and muscle past threats to Dark teams such as Tapu Koko. Fire Punch allows Tyranitar to hit Steel- and Grass-type Pokemon such as Mega Scizor and Ferrothorn, while Ice Punch threatens Flying and Dragon teams in tandem with Stone Edge. Mega Tyranitar becomes nearly unstoppable at +2, as only a few Pokemon such as Keldeo can handle its monstrous Attack and fantastic coverage. Since Mega Tyranitar is used on hyper offense, Pokemon such as lead Krookodile and Choice Scarf Greninja make for good partners. The former fills the role of a Stealth Rock user and removes items such as Chansey's Eviolite with Knock Off. Choice Scarf Greninja acts as Speed control for Mega Tyranitar, taking care of threats such as Kommo-o while also being able to pick up momentum with U-turn.
