Since Tyranitar is a slower weather setter, it means if you come in at the same time as Alolatales, your Sandstorm will go up second, completely denying them the opportunity to set up Aurora Veil. Since they've lost the Snow, it also leave them extremely vulnerable to your attacks, and they can't really threaten you with Moonblast since they can't 2HKO with it. Only a check cause Ttar can be put to sleep before doing anything or the Moonblast still hurts on the switch in but if you want to ensure Aurora Veil doesn't get up turn 1 this is your guy since it doesn't need to be awake to set Sandstorm. Unless they decide to waste a slot on Snowscape WITH Hypnosis for some reason
