Mega Tyranitar is a valuable asset for a variety of teams due to the sheer role compression it provides. It can act an entry hazard setter ; an offensive threat with its STAB moves, coverage, and high Attack stat ; and a trapper with its effective usage of Pursuit, allowing it to remove offensive threats such as Dragapult, Choice-locked Tapu Lele, and Gholdengo. Due to its incredible capabilities as an offensive threat, it can check many common special attackers such as Raging Bolt, Mega Charizard Y lacking Focus Blast, and Terapagos while dealing significant damage and threatening them with Pursuit. Even though Stone Edge is very powerful with STAB, other options like Ice Punch for doing significant damage to Landorus-T and Great Tusk while scoring an OHKO on Gliscor and Garchomp as well as Low Kick for hitting Steel-types that would otherwise threaten Mega Tyranitar such as Ferrothorn, Kingambit, and Melmetal can also be run. Stealth Rock is a priority on Mega Tyranitar due to its great bulk and ability to check common entry hazard removal options such as Terapagos, Zapdos, and Tornadus-T lacking Focus Blast. Even though Mega Tyranitar is an exceptional Stealth Rock setter, Low Kick can be run if there is already another Stealth Rock setter on the team. Knock Off has excellent synergy with Stealth Rock, as it can remove items like Heavy-Duty Boots from common users such as Alomomola and Toxapex, making them vulnerable to hazards. 164 Speed EVs allow Mega Tyranitar to outspeed non-Speed invested Landorus-T and maximum Speed invested Jolly Kingambit.

Mega Tyranitar fits best on many balance and bulky offense teams that can benefit heavily from its role compression. It can also fit on entry hazard stacking teams, as it can set hazards and use Knock Off to remove foes' Heavy-Duty Boots while also setting sand to deal additional chip damage. Even though Mega Tyranitar has great offensive and defensive stats, its lackluster typing holds it back significantly. It struggles against powerful Fighting-types such as Zamazenta, Mega Lopunny, and Great Tusk along with viable Fairy-types such as Iron Valiant, Tapu Lele, and Mega Mawile. Teammates such as Gholdengo, Clefable, and Zapdos can check most of the Pokemon mentioned above, while Iron Valiant and Melmetal can offensively threaten Tapu Lele and opposing Iron Valiant. Additionally, Future Sight users such as Tapu Lele and Galarian Slowking can form powerful cores with Mega Tyranitar, as they help it in breaking the aforementioned Zamazenta, Great Tusk, and Iron Valiant. In return, Mega Tyranitar can weaken Pokemon that can safely switch into Future Sight such as Kingambit if running Low Kick and Gholdengo. Teammates like Gholdengo and Dragapult can block Rapid Spin from Great Tusk ; Gholdengo additionally blocks Defog from physically defensive Corviknight.

got rid of all the awkward spaces and moved stone edge moveslot down sine it has slashes

Mega Tyranitar is a valuable asset for a variety of teams due to the sheer role compression it provides. It can act as a hazard setter, a special wall, an offensive threat with its STABs and coverage and a trapper with its great usage of pursuit. Due to its incredible capabilities as a special wall and as an offensive threat, it can wall many common special attackers such as calm mind Raging Bolt, wallbreaker Mega Charizard Y, calm mind Terapagos and many more while doing great damage to them and making them think twice about switching. <= im ngl this starting bit could be a bit more concise but ill leave that as is 164 speed EVs allow Mega Tyranitar to outspeed non-speed invested Landorus Therian and bulky Gholdengo while being on par with 132 speed Raging Bolt move down, talk about EVs last. Stone edge becomes a 150 bp powerful rock type move if you consider STAB, making it a powerful option for Mega Tyranitar. obvious enough Even though stone edge is very powerful with STAB, other options like ice punch for doing great damage to Landorus Therian while OHKOing Gliscor <= add garchomp as an ipunch target and low kick for hitting steel types that would otherwise threaten it like Ferrothorn, Kingambit and Melmetal. Knock off is an excellent STAB move as it not only hits hard on pokemon with most items but it can also remove those items, making it an excellent knock off user with its 165 base attack. knock off is also very obvious, and you cover the removing boots bit later already Mega Tyranitar is a very good hazard setter due to its great physical and special bulk. It can survive most moves before setting stealth rock, making it an exceptional hazard setter. talk instead about how it checks basically every hazard remover except tusk, giving examples: zap molt lando (kinda) terap Knock off partners well with stealth rock as it can remove heavy duty boots on common heavy duty boots users such as Alomomola, Toxapex and Zapdos if lacking Stone Edge, making them more vulnerable to hazards. Even though it is an exceptional hazard setter, low kick <= this sentence is incomplete - i believe you were in the middle of typing it? As previously mentioned, Mega Tyranitar can use pursuit very effectively to make many pokemon think twice before switching as a lot of pokemon do not like being hit by a 120 BP move coming from an offensive powerhouse with amazing offensive stats. talk about the exact targets that pursuit hits the hardest, gholdengo specs pult choice lele blah blah 164 speed EVs allow Mega Tyranitar to outspeed non-speed invested Landorus-T. removed mentions of ghold and bolt since we arent allowed to creep in analyses, only creep 0 speed and max speed mons not creep stuff that are creeping other stuff

a lot of sentences here are talking about very obvious dex-info that readers would not find very informative, i dont want to rewrite them for you but make sure what you say gives insight into why the mon is good and not just what it does

Mega Tyranitar fits best on many balance and bulky offense teams that can benefit greatly from its role compression. It can also fit on hazard stack teams as it can set hazards and use knock off very well. Even though Mega Tyranitar has great offensive and defensive stats, its lackluster typing holds it back significantly. It struggles to deal good damage to against powerful fighting types such as Zamazenta, Mega Lopunny and Great Tusk along with powerful fairy types such as Iron Valiant, Calm Mind Tapu Lele and Mega Mawile while also failing to wall them. Teammates such as Defensive Gholdengo, Clefable and Zapdos can wall check most of the pokemon mentioned above while Offensive Gholdengo, Choice Specs Iron Valiant and Melmetal can all offensively threaten these fairy and fighting types. Additionally, Future Sight users such as Assault Vest Tapu Lele, Galarian Slowking and Assault Vest Iron Crown can form powerful cores with Mega Tyranitar as future sight helps it majorly in breaking these fighting and fairy types. In return, Mega Tyranitar can weaken pokemon that can safely switch into future sight such as opposing Assault Vest Iron Crown, Kingambit if Mega Tyranitar has running low kick and Gholdengo with its stabs and pursuit. Teammates like Gholdengo and Dragapult can block rapid spin from good users such as Great Tusk and Terapagos; Gholdengo also blocks Defog from Corviknight and Zapdos while teammates like Gholdengo, Taunt Heatran and Taunt Landorus Therian can block defog, making it harder to remove the hazards it can set with stealth rock. Overall, Mega Tyranitar is an excellent pokemon that can provide so much role compression. <= filler

Mega Tyranitar is a valuable asset for a variety of teams due to the sheer role compression it provides. It can act as a hazard setter, a special wall wall is a stretch, mtar checks a lot but it doesnt counter anything, an offensive threat with its STABs and coverage has a very high atk stat asw and a trapper with its great usage of pursuit. Due to its incredible capabilities as a special wall* and as an offensive threat, it can check many common special attackers such as Raging Bolt, Mega Charizard Y lacking Focus Blast, Terapagos lacking earth power it doesn’t 3kho and many more while doing great damage to them and making them reconsider switching threatening Pursuit in return. specify Knock Off is Mega Tyranitar's primary STAB attack, boasting a high base power alongside the effect of removing valuable items. you dont need to talk abt stabs and knock’s utility is mentioned in second paragraph Even though stone edge is very powerful with STAB, other options like ice punch for doing significant damage to Landorus Therian and Great Tusk while OHKOing Gliscor and Garchomp and low kick for hitting steel types that would otherwise threaten it like Ferrothorn, Kingambit and Melmetal can also be ran. Stealth Rock is a viable option emphasize sr as a priority unless its already on the team on Mega Tyranitar thanks to its great bulk while also being able to check many pokemon that can remove hazards common hazard removal appropriate term such as Terapagos, Zapdos and Tornadus Therian lacking focus blast . Knock off partners well with stealth rock as it can remove heavy duty boots on common users such as Alomomola, and Toxapex, and Zapdos if lacking stone edge, mtar beats zapdos anyway and zap isnt staying in making them more vulnerable to hazards. Mega Tyranitar can use pursuit very effectively to remove pokemon such as choiced Tapu Lele, Dragapult and Gholdengo. 164 speed EVs allow Mega Tyranitar to outspeed non-speed invested Landorus-Therian and Jolly Kingambit. relevant especially for low kick

viable priority strikes me as an oxymoron; priority means it should be the more important move, yet viable means it’s a usable option

make sure you read over your work, make sure its sound and the edits have been implemented thoughtfully. don’t be afraid to restructure

 
Kindly refer to the above, if you have any questions or confusion do reach out, this has been waiting a while

(cut filler) Knock Off forms an effective partnership with Stealth Rock (moves themselves cannot "form a partnership"; i would suggest changing this to "Knock Off synergizes with Stealth Rock...") as it can remove Heavy-Duty-Boots Heavy-Duty Boots on common users (clarify that you mean common users of Heavy-Duty Boots?) such as Alomomola and Toxapex, making them vulnerable to entry hazards.

Mega Tyranitar is a valuable asset for a variety of teams due to the sheer role compression it provides. It can act an entry hazard setter (RC); (ASC) an offensive threat with its STAB moves, coverage, and high Attack stat (RC); (ASC) and a trapper with its effective usage of Pursuit. Due to its incredible capabilities as an offensive threat, it can check many common special attackers such as Raging Bolt, Mega Charizard Y lacking Focus Blast, Terapagos (RC) and many more Terapagos ('such as' with examples implies there are more) while dealing significant damage and threatening them with Pursuit. Even though Stone Edge is very powerful with STAB, other options like Ice Punch for doing significant damage to Landorus-T and Great Tusk while scoring an OHKO on Gliscor and Garchomp (RC) or as well as Low Kick for hitting Steel-types that would otherwise threaten it Mega Tyranitar such as Ferrothorn, Kingambit, and Melmetal can also be ran run. Stealth Rock is a priority on Mega Tyranitar due to its great bulk and its ability to check common entry hazard removal options such as Terapagos, Zapdos, and Tornadus-T lacking Focus Blast. Even though Mega Tyranitar is an exceptional Stealth Rock setter, Low Kick can be ran run if there is already another Stealth Rock setter on the team. Knock Off has excellent synergy with Stealth Rock, (AC) as it can remove items like Heavy-Duty Boots from common users of Heavy-Duty Boots such as Alomomola and Toxapex, making them vulnerable to hazards. Mega Tyranitar can use Pursuit very effectively to remove offensive threats, such as Choice-locked Tapu Lele, Dragapult, and Gholdengo. (this sentence should be closer to the top of the paragraph where you talk about the moves on the set; pursuit is move 2 so it needs to go after knock off. you also talk about pursuit a lot at the top already so it would be good to just combine this idea in with those) 164 Speed EVs allows allow Mega Tyranitar to outspeed non-Speed invested Landorus-T and maximum Speed invested Jolly Kingambit.

Mega Tyranitar fits best on many balance and bulky offense teams that can benefit heavily from its role compression. It can also fit on entry hazards hazard stacking teams, as it can set hazards and use Knock Off to remove opponents foes' Heavy-Duty Boots while also setting sand after entering the field to deal additional chip damage. Even though Mega Tyranitar has great offensive and defensive stats, its lackluster typing holds it back significantly. It struggles against powerful Fighting-types such as Zamazenta, Mega Lopunny, and Great Tusk (RC) along with viable Fairy-types such as Iron Valiant, Tapu Lele, and Mega Mawile. Teammates such as Gholdengo, Clefable, and Zapdos can check most of the Pokemon mentioned above, while Gholdengo, Iron Valiant, and Melmetal can all offensively threaten Tapu Lele and opposing Iron Valiant. (you have gholdengo as an example twice here, so pick which one to keep and remove the other one) Additionally, Future Sight users such as Tapu Lele and Galarian Slowking can form powerful cores with Mega Tyranitar, as Future Sight allows Mega Tyranitar which helps it to break the aforementioned Zamazenta, Great Tusk, and Iron Valiant. In return, Mega Tyranitar can weaken Pokemon that can safely switch into Future Sight such as Kingambit if running Low Kick and Gholdengo. Teammates like Gholdengo and Dragapult can block Rapid Spin from Great Tusk (RP); (ASC) Gholdengo additionally blocks Defog from physically defensive Corviknight.
