Tyranitar's STAB combination and very respectable offensive capability make it a premier Stealth Rock setter capable of deterring Defoggers like Noivern, offensive Galarian Weezing, and Skarmory from easily removing its hazards. Furthermore, Tyranitar's exceptional Sand Stream-bolstered bulk alongside its typing makes it one of the best specially defensive walls capable of tackling foes like Kyurem, Polteageist, Porygon-Z, and Noivern. However, while Tyranitar's typing has many favorable defensive attributes, it comes with a vast share of weaknesses, which notably results in it being overwhelmed due to a vast majority of specially offensive foes with super effective coverage and the tier's abundance of Fighting-types. Fire Blast allows Tyranitar to notably 2HKO Skarmory and gives it the coverage to nail Steel-types like Cobalion, Escavalier, and Bisharp on the switch. Superpower is an alternative option that allows Tyranitar to hit Krookodile and Terrakion and gives it neutral coverage to hit Keldeo while maintaining the ability to hit the aforementioned Steel-types; however, it leaves it unable to break past Skarmory reliably. Alternatively, Thunder Wave can cripple common pivots into Tyranitar like Keldeo, Cobalion, and Terrakion, making them easier for it or its teammates to deal with. Chople Berry helps Tyranitar check foes like Reuniclus and special variants of Jirachi better. It also allows Tyranitar to take a Close Combat from Obstagoon and Cobalion and retaliate as appropriate. Leftovers is another option to mitigate Tyranitar's susceptibility to being worn down by chip damage like U-turn from Noivern.

Jirachi and Sylveon can provide Wish support and help check Noivern and Kyurem to take pressure off Tyranitar. Sylveon can also check Fighting-types like Mienshao that threaten to KO Tyranitar even through its Chople Berry. Hatterene, Slowking, and Galarian Weezing can help check a handful of the tier's Fighting-types, with Slowking also being able to take on Jirachi and Galarian Weezing helping against Krookodile. Noivern can pressure Grass-types like Celebi and Roserade, with the former being able to break past Tyranitar with a Nasty Plot boost and the latter threatening to cripple it with Sleep Powder or severely weaken it with Leaf Storm. Noivern also helps remove foes like Keldeo, Jirachi, and Cobalion and can bring Tyranitar in safely with U-turn against foes like Slowking. Rotom-C and Heliolisk can also bring Tyranitar in safely to set up Stealth Rock and overwhelm bulkier Water-types like Rotom-W and Gastrodon that Tyranitar struggles with. Keldeo greatly appreciates Tyranitar's ability to check Noivern and remove its checks like Slowking, Mantine, and Jellicent. In return, Choice Scarf Keldeo can help remove foes like Lycanroc-D and Terrakion. Kyurem and Dragalge appreciate Tyranitar's ability to check Noivern for them, and in return, they can check the Rotom formes and help Tyranitar overwhelm Skarmory.

Choice Band Tyranitar is a fearsome wallbreaker with access to a powerful STAB Stone Edge alongside a vast movepool that allows it to break through a majority of its defensive checks. Superpower provides Tyranitar with the coverage to OHKO non-Chople Berry Cobalion and Krookodile, Terrakion, Bisharp, and opposing Tyranitar and gives it neutral coverage to heavily damage Keldeo. Heavy Slam allows Tyranitar to OHKO Hatterene and offensive Galarian Weezing from full and defensive variants after Stealth Rock. However, it isn't an ideal move to lock into and can be easily punished by foes like Keldeo and Cobalion. Alternatively, Thunder Punch allows Tyranitar to KO Keldeo after Stealth Rock and provide it with a more consistent means to 2HKO Skarmory after Stealth Rock.

Late-game cleaners like Doublade and Mimikyu appreciate Tyranitar's ability to break through walls such as Skarmory and Galarian Weezing. In return, they can check some Fighting-types like Terrakion and Mienshao that threaten to revenge kill Tyranitar. Celebi, Slowking, and Noivern can help check Keldeo and other Fighting-types for Tyranitar; the former can also handle Rotom-W and Rotom-C for Tyranitar. In return, Tyranitar can check common revenge killers such as Noivern and Talonflame as well as remove Skarmory for Celebi and break through foes like Slowking and Hatterene for Noivern. Pivots like the aforementioned three as well as Rotom-W, Keldeo, and Cobalion can bring Tyranitar in safely against Pokemon like Slowking and Dragalge to wallbreak. Palossand can check many Fighting-types for Tyranitar as well as Lycanroc-D. It can also provide Stealth Rock support and greatly appreciates Tyranitar's sand support to activate Sand Veil and boost the healing of its Shore Up. Jirachi and Escavalier can check Grass-types like Celebi and Roserade for Tyranitar, while the latter can also help with opposing Jirachi. Jirachi can also provide Stealth Rock support, bring Tyranitar in against Pokemon like Slowking and Chandelure to wallbreak, and provide Wish or Healing Wish support. Kyurem and Dragalge can provide additional wallbreaking support to take pressure off Tyranitar having to break through defensive walls like Skarmory. The Dragon-types can also handle Rotom formes, with Dragalge also checking Keldeo for Tyranitar. In return, they appreciate Tyranitar's ability to pivot into Noivern, a common revenge killer to them.

Dragon Dance can make Tyranitar a scary late-game cleaner with adequate team support; however, it is held back by its Speed tier, which leaves it slower than foes such as Choice Scarf Jirachi even after two boosts. Low Kick allows Tyranitar to OHKO threats like Cobalion, Bisharp, and opposing Tyranitar and provides it with the coverage to hit Krookodile harder. Superpower is an option that does significantly more to Keldeo after a boost and guarantees the OHKO on foes like non-Chople Berry Krookodile and Umbreon; however, the Attack drop makes it a lot harder for Tyranitar to sweep. Lum Berry provides Tyranitar with more opportunities to set up one or multiple Dragon Dances against foes such as Slowking and Palossand more easily. Alternatively, Tyranitar can take advantage of its amazing Special Defense to utilize a Weakness Policy and activate it against foes like Rotom-W, Celebi, and Hatterene, allowing it to break through defensive walls like Galarian Weezing and Skarmory more easily. After two Dragon Dance boosts and the activation of its Weakness Policy, Tyranitar is capable of OHKOing Skarmory after Stealth Rock, leaving only Choice Scarf users like Mienshao or Unaware Pokemon like Quagsire to prevent it from sweeping. A Jolly nature is mandatory on Dragon Dance Tyranitar, as it falls short of outspeeding Terrakion, Cobalion, and Keldeo at +1 otherwise.

Grimmsnarl can provide Tyranitar with dual screens support, which can help it accumulate multiple boosts to sweep more easily. It can also allow Tyranitar to activate its Weakness Policy more safely, as it helps it take a hit from foes like Cobalion and Krookodile. Wallbreakers like Jirachi, Keldeo, and Mienshao can help weaken or remove defensive foes such as Galarian Weezing, Skarmory, and Cobalion for Tyranitar to sweep more easily after a boost. Araquanid can help check Cobalion, Jirachi, and, Keldeo for Tyranitar and provide it with Sticky Web support to prevent faster foes like Choice Scarf Jirachi and Mienshao from outspeeding it after a boost. In return, Tyranitar can check Noivern and Talonflame for Araquanid. Noivern and Slowking can help check Fighting-types like Cobalion, Keldeo, and Mienshao, as well as bring it in safely to find easier opportunities to set up a Dragon Dance. Cobalion and Jirachi can set up Stealth Rock to bring foes like Skarmory and Galarian Weezing into range of a boosted Stone Edge. Mixed Jirachi can also help lure in and remove foes like Rotom-W and Quagsire for Tyranitar to sweep more easily. Cobalion can also help check common revenge killers likes Jirachi and Lycanroc-D, though it needs a Chople Berry for the latter. Druddigon is another partner that can not only support Tyranitar with Stealth Rock support but also cripple many faster foes like Choice Scarf Jirachi with Glare and weakening it with the combination of Rocky Helmet and Rough Skin. Roserade can also use Stun Spore to cripple common revenge killers to Tyranitar such as Choice Scarf Jirachi to allow Tyranitar to sweep more easily.

Tyranitar's STAB combination and very respectable offensive capability make it is a premier Stealth Rock setter capable of deterring common Deffogers Defoggers like Noivern, offensive Galarian Weezing, and Skarmory from easily removing its hazards. my main problem with this is like Noivern and Skarmory just aren't common Defoggers lol. Obviously Tyranitar is a great Noivern check and you'll need to clarify this somehow, and it being great at luring Skarmory. Furthermore, Tyranitar's exceptional bulk further bolstered by Sand Stream, alongside its typing, makes it one of the best specially defensive walls capable of tackling foes like Kyurem, Polteageist, Porygon-Z, and Noivern. However, while Tyranitar's typing has many favourable defensive attributes, it comes with a vast share of weaknesses, which notably results in it being overwhelmed due to a vast majority of specially offensive foes having super-effective coverage to hit it. Something about the 4x weakness to Fighting in a tier loaded with Fighting-types too maybe? Fire Blast allows Tyranitar to notably 2HKO Skarmory and gives it the coverage to nail Steel-types like Cobalion, Escvalier, and Bisharp i Would clarify on switch-in because it'd be stupid to stay in on Coba (or the other two if ur weakened) . Superpower is an alternative option, which allows Tyranitar to hit Krookodile and Terrakion, give it neutral coverage to hit Keldeo, while maintaining the ability to hit the aforementioned Steel-types; however, it struggles to break Skarmory as easily. more like its just completely hard walled by it Thunder Wave is an option, which can cripple common pivots into Tyranitar like Keldeo, Cobalion, and Terrakion, making them easier for it or its teammates to deal with. Chople Berry helps Tyranitar check foes like Reuniclus and special variants of Jirachi better. Lets it check CM rachi too. It also allows Tyranitar to live a Close Combat from Obstagoon and Cobalion and retaliate as appropriate. Alternatively, Leftovers is an option to mitigate how easily it can be worn down from things like U-turn from Noivern.

Jirachi and Sylveon can provide Wish support and take pressure off Tyranitar having to check Noivern and Kyurem. Sylveon can also check Fighting-types like Mienshao and Terrakion Sylveon checking Terrakion is kind of generous lol that threaten to KO Tyranitar even through its Chople Berry. Hatterene, Slowking, and Galarian Weezing can also help check a handful of the tier's Fighting-types with Slowking also being able to take on Jirachi and Galarian Weezing helping against Krookodile. Noivern can pressure Grass-types like Celebi and Roserade with the former being able to break past it with a Nasty Plot boost and the latter cripple it with Sleep Powder. clarify what "it" is here because it almost sounds like you are talking about Noivern when you obviously mean ttar. Noivern also helps remove foes like Keldeo, Jirachi, and Cobalion and bring it in safely with U-turn against foes like Slowking. Rotom-C and Heliolisk can also bring Tyranitar in safely to set up Stealth Rock and overwhelm bulkier Water-types like Rotom-W and Gastrodon that Tyranitar struggles with. Keldeo greatly appreciates Tyranitar being able to check Noivern and remove its checks like Slowking, Mantine, and Jellicent. In return, Scarf Keldeo can help remove foes like Lycanroc-D and Terrakion. Kyurem and Dragalge appreciate Tyranitar being able to check Noivern for them and in return, they can check the Rotom formes and help each other overwhelm Skarmory.

Jirachi can also provide Stealth Rock support, bring Tyranitar in against Pokemon like Slowking and Chandelure to wallbreak, and provide Wish or Healing Wish support. something about Escavalier dealing with Jirachi would be cool too, depending on what you lock into your can be pretty vulnerable to cm/subtox rachi while scarf obviously annoys u. Kyurem and Dragalge can provide additional wallbreaking support to take pressure off Tyranitar having to break through defensive walls like Skarmory. The Dragon-types can also handle Rotom formes, the latter also checking Keldeo for Tyranitar. In return, they appreciate Tyranitar being able to pivot into Noivern a common revenge killer to them.

Noivern can also give it set up opportunities versus Slowking Cobalion and Jirachi can support Tyranitar with Stealth Rock support to bring foes like Skarmory and Galarian Weezing into range of a boosted Stone Edge. you can defo talk about mixd Rocks Rachi being able to weaken checks like Rotom-W / Skarmory that can take a hit from a Tyranitar and revenge it easily (if weakned sufficiently in Washtoms case) Cobalion can also help check common revenge killers likes Jirachi and Lycanroc-D, the latter it can only do if using a Chople Berry.

I'd mention Paralysis support here too, its another effective way of making use of Tyranitar on more BO like teams instead of full offense. Druddigon is excellent cause of its ability to switch into stuff like Scarf Jirachi and punish them, while Roserade sets spikes to chip switch ins like Cobalion and Stun Spore's jirachi incredibly reliably. Can give a mention to Twave slowking while you talk about it too if you want, can punish greedy plays with Mienshao and stuff quite well.

Solid work, QC 1/2.

Dragon Dance can make Tyranitar a scary late-game cleaner with adequate team support; however, it struggles to be as effective due to being is held back by its Speed tier, which leaves it slower than foes such as Choice Scarf Jirachi even after two boosts. Low Kick allows Tyranitar to OHKO threats like Cobalion, Bisharp, and opposing Tyranitar and providing provides it with the coverage to hit Krookodile harder. Superpower is an option, which that does significantly more to Keldeo after a boost and guarantees the OHKO on foes like non-Chople Berry Krookodile and Umbreon; however, the drawbacks of lowering your Attack drop makes it a lot harder for Tyranitar to sweep. Lum Berry provides Tyranitar with more opportunities to set up a one or multiple Dragon Dance's Dances against foes such as Slowking and Palossand more easily. Alternatively, Tyranitar can take advantage of its amazing Special Defence Defense to utilize a Weakness Policy and activate it against foes like Rotom-W, Celebi, and Hatterene, (AC) allowing it to break through defensive walls like Galarian Weezing and Skarmory more easily. After two Dragon Dance boosts and the activation of its Weakness Policy, Tyranitar is capable of OHKOing Skarmory after Stealth Rock, (AC) leaving only Choice Scarf users like Mienshao or Unaware Pokemon like Quagsire to prevent it from sweeping. A Jolly nature is mandatory on Dragon Dance Tyranitar, as it falls short of outspeeding Terrakion, Cobalion, and Keldeo at +1 otherwise.

It can also allow Tyranitar to activate its Weakness Policy more easily safely, as it helps it take a hit from foes like Cobalion and Krookodile. Wallbreakers like Jirachi, Keldeo, and Mienshao can help weaken or remove defensive foes such as Galarian Weezing, Skarmory, and Cobalion for Tyranitar to sweep more easily after a boost. Araquanid can help check Cobalion, Jirachi, and, Keldeo for Tyranitar and provide it with Sticky Web support to prevent faster foes like Choice Scarf Jirachi and Mienshao from outspeeding it after a boost.

Noivern and Slowking can help check Fighting-types like Cobalion, Keldeo, and Mienshao, as well as bring it in safely to find easier opportunities to set up a Dragon Dance. Cobalion and Jirachi can set up Stealth Rock to bring foes like Skarmory and Galarian Weezing into range of a boosted Stone Edge from Tyranitar. Mixed Jirachi can also help lure in and remove foes like Rotom-W and Quagsire for Tyranitar to sweep more easily. Cobalion can also help check common revenge killers likes Jirachi and Lycanroc-D, the latter it can only do if using though it needs a Chople Berry for the latter. Druddigon is another partner that can not only support Tyranitar with Stealth Rock support but also cripple many faster foes like Choice Scarf Jirachi with Glare and weakening it with the combination of Rocky Helmet and Rough Skin. Roserade can also use Stun Spore to cripple common revenge killers to Tyranitar such as the aforementioned Choice Scarf Jirachi with Stun Spore to allow Tyranitar to sweep more easily.
