Tyranitar @ Leftovers
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD
Careful Nature
- Stone Axe
- Knock Off
- Salt Cure
- Shore Up
Tyranitar's Stone Tattered Axe Breaks through STABmons! Tyranitar's access to the rare combination of Stone Axe, Salt Cure, and Knock Off allows for it to be an oppressive presence in battle by setting entry hazards while also removing notable items such as Heavy-Duty Boots, Covert Cloak, and Leftovers. Tyranitar is bolstered further by Sand Stream, which allows it to stick around for a long time. Its immense bulk and unique type combination let it check some of the tier's strongest special wallbreakers like Latios, Darkrai, and Iron Moth, allowing for teammates such as Toxapex, Hydrapple, and Corviknight to live worry-free while they protect Tyranitar from threats like Zamazenta, the Ogerpon formes, and Rillaboom. Tyranitar works great with Sand Rush Excadrill, providing sand and tons of chip damage for it to come in and clean weakened teams. Tyranitar also partners well with Gholdengo, setting entry hazards and removing Heavy-Duty Boots for Gholdengo to enable a hazard stacking strategy.
