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.

Not much to say here, but make your third sentence into a complete thought; combine it with the previous sentence. Also, you mention that Greninja acts as "the team's immediate form of Speed (control)", but that's in reference to a team and doesn't explicitly state that it helps Mega TTar in anyway. Fix the wording to represent that it helps Tyranitar and not just "the team".

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 many threats to Dark teams such as Tapu Koko. (if you say "many," you should have at least two examples) Fire Punch allows Tyranitar to hit Steel- and Grass-type Pokemon such as Mega Scizor and Ferrothorn, while Ice Punch rounds out its coverage allowing it to threatens Flying and Dragon teams in tandem with Stone Edge. After two Dragon Dances Mega Tyranitar becomes nearly unstoppable at +2, as only a few Pokemon such as Keldeo can handle its monstrous Attack and fantastic coverage can check it such as Keldeo, since it can pretty much break past most Pokemon thanks to its monstrous attack stat and fantastic coverage moves. Since Mega Tyranitar is used on hyper offense, (comma) Pokemon teammates such as lead Krookodile and Choice Scarf Greninja make for good partners. The former fills the role of a Stealth Rock user as well as removing and removes items with Knock Off such as Latios's Choice Scarf with Knock Off. Choice Scarf Greninja acts as Speed control for Mega Tyranitar, taking care of threats such as Kommo-o, (comma) while also being able to pick up momentum with U-turn.
