Moves
========

Stone Edge lets Tyranitar pressure Zapdos, Kyurem-B, Mega Pinsir, regular Gyarados, Mega Charizard X, and Mega Charizard Y while discouraging Tornadus-T from removing entry hazards. Crunch allows Tyranitar to deal with threats that Stone Edge can't, such as Mega Latios, Mega Latias, and Reuniclus, while doing respectable damage against Mega Medicham and Gastrodon and being the most reliable Dark-type STAB move available to Tyranitar. Pursuit is one of the most important moves of this set, having the same Base Power as Crunch on a switch, OHKOing Mega Latios after Stealth Rock, and chipping other Choice item users locked into harmless moves, such as Choice Specs Tapu Lele locked into Psychic-type moves and Magnezone locked into Hidden Power Fire. The last move is the only customizable one depending on the team's needs. Earthquake has the ability to OHKO Heatran and Magnezone and 2HKO Magearna and Mega Mawile. Superpower on the other hand aims to OHKO opposing Tyranitar and Kartana after Stealth Rock and one layer of Spikes, 2HKO Ferrothorn after Stealth Rock damage, and 2HKO Heatran. Fire Punch is a niche option to hit Steel-types that aren't worried about Earthquake or Superpower, such as Celesteela and Mega Scizor, and guarantee the OHKO against Kartana.

Set Details
========

252 Attack EVs, 252 Speed EVs, and a Jolly nature are used to hit as hard and fast as possible. A Choice Scarf is used to outspeed Pokemon like Mega Latios, Mega Pinsir, unboosted Mega Charizard X, and Mega Charizard Y. Sand Stream is the preferred ability to boost Tyranitar's Special Defense stat and provide chip damage on opposing Pokemon.

Usage Tips
========

Considering Tyranitar's huge pool of resistances and enormous bulk, pivoting in on moves that Tyranitar resists or is immune to, such as Magma Storm for Heatran and Psychic from Mega Latios, is beneficial, since it can OHKO these foes after Stealth Rock damage or deal chip damage with Pursuit. However, beware of Heatran's Corkscrew Crash and Mega Latios's Earthquake, since the former OHKOes Tyranitar on the switch and the latter 2HKOes it. Setting up entry hazards as soon as possible is very beneficial for this set, since the damage caused by them can guarantee an OHKO on some of its targets, such as Stone Edge against Hoopa-U or Crunch against Mega Latios. In addition, the residual damage can be used to punish switch-ins that resist Tyranitar's moves, making them less reliable in the long run. Try to leave the Pokemon that you want to eliminate with Tyranitar in range of unboosted Pursuit, so that Tyranitar will KO the desired target even if it stays on the field. This also avoids using another move that can be a momentum drainer if the target switches out, such as Earthquake against Flying-types or Crunch against Fairy-types.

Team Options
========

Although they share the same Water-type weakness, Gliscor fits really well with Choice Scarf Tyranitar because Tyranitar can eliminate two of Gliscor's greatest checks in Mega Latios and Mega Latias. In return, Gliscor can pivot into and deal with Landorus-T and Toxapex, since they can scare away Tyranitar with the possibility of an OHKO after minimal chip damage or a Scald burn, respectively. Clefable has the ability to switch into Mega Medicham and Hawlucha and pass HP to Tyranitar with Wish, making it more durable throughout the match. It can also use Thunder Wave to cripple problematic Pokemon such as Greninja and Mega Alakazam, letting Tyranitar outspeed and OHKO both. Ferrothorn can be used to pivot into Ash-Greninja and provide some recovery with Leech Seed and chip damage with entry hazards in the form of Spikes, while Tyranitar can pivot into most of Ferrothorn's answers, such as Heatran. Toxapex can also support Tyranitar by setting up Toxic Spikes to punish switch-ins, enduring hits from powerful Water-types such as Greninja and Keldeo, and completely walling Mega Scizor and non-Psychium Z Volcarona. In return, Toxapex appreciates Tyranitar's ability to deal with Zapdos and Psychic-types such as Tapu Lele, Mega Latias, and Mega Latios.

This is a really messy section. It should instead read: "However, if Tyranitar has done any damage against the opposing team, the damage output will reveal its real set, so only use this tactic if Tyranitar has not used any moves yet."


And that should be it.

Considering the lack of power of this set, Rock Slide, although more accurate, doesn't fit well here because of the inability to OHKO threats such as Kyurem-Black and bulky Tornadus-T without rocks.

This makes it sound like Choice Band Tyranitar can viably run Rock Slide, which isn't the case. Just remove this.

• Blizzard, in conjuction with a Naive nature, can achieve a clean OHKO against Lando-T and OHKO Gliscor and offensive Zygarde after Stealth Rock damage and 1 layer of Spikes, respectively. However, it doesn't have any real use outside of this and you can't touch almost any of the Steel-types that are common in the tier.

Honestly just delete this, no team utilizing Choice Scarf Tyranitar should be weak to any of these threats.

[Usage Tips]

However, beware of Steelium Z Heatran and Mega Latios's Earthquake, since the former OHKOes it on the switch and the latter can achieve the same result if Tyranitar is below half of its health.

Just say Earthquake 2HKOes it.

Since most Tyranitar sets run Choice Band set, you can bluff this item

Not really, because you're using the 2 on very different builds, to where you can usually tell whether it is Choice Scarf or Choice Band.

• Avoid switching into potencial Knock Off users like Tangrowth, Mega Mawile, and to a lesser extend, Tornadus-T. Loosing Choice Scarf cripples Tyranitar for the rest of the match, since it can't outspeed any of its desired targets anymore and doesn't have the power to wallbreak.

Remove this. I don't see the point of this because it's obvious that you don't want to switch into Tangrowth, Mega Mawile, or Tornadus-T, or any other Knock Off user really.

[Team Options]

and the others teammates, making them more durabble during the match.

This doesn't have anything to do with Tyranitar in particular, so remove it.

Ferrothorn can cover most of Tyranitar weakness and provide some recovery with Leech Seed or bring hazards up in the form of Stealth Rock and/ or Spikes, while Tyranitar can pivot in most of Ferrothorn's nightmares, such as Heatran and Magnezone.

Ferrothorn is never using Stealth Rock on these types of teams.

while appreciates Tyranitar's capacity to deal with Zapdos and Choice-locked Psychic-types such as Tapu Lele and Victini.

What about the Mega Lati's?

1/3, nice job

Choice Scarf is used to outspeed everything up to Azelf, including Mega Latios, Mega Pinsir, and Mega Charizard-Y.

i get what youre trying to do here but mentioning irrelevant mons for the sake of showing off the benchmark it hits isnt worth it, just mention the stuff u care about outsp

while the former can cover the Bug- and Fighting-type weakness for Tyranitar.

instead of mentioning typing synergy, elaborate on mons it helps it beat thanks to these resistances. for instance, scizor is a bug type and beats glisc so leaving it at “resists bug type moves” could confuse the reader. keep this in mind and try to re formulate the next couple team options bullets

rest looks good 2/3

[Ohmboy Tesla]

The remaining 4 EVs are put in SpD since it will double in sandstorm, addind 2 points to the final status.

Just noticed this line. It looks like you're trying to say that Sandstorm doubles the Sp.Def stat, while it actually only multiplies by 1,5. The extra 4 EVs make Ttar's Sp.Def go from 236 to 237, so even its multiplied defense only increases with 1.

 

[talah]

Crunch allows Tyranitar to deal with threats that Stone Edge can't, such as the Mega Eon duo and Reuniclus, three of the most dangerous threats in the tier,

remove the "three most dangerous threats in the tier" part, largely unneeded

while doing respectable damage against Mega Medicham and Gastrodon and being a powerful Dark-type STAB move.

replace "a powerful Dark-type STAB move." with "the most reliable Dark-type STAB move available to Tyranitar."

Superpower aims to OHKOing opposing Tyranitar and Kartana with rocks plus 1 layer of spikes and to 2HKO Ferrothorn after Stealth Rock damage.

add "while still doing considerably more damage to Heatran than Tyranitar's STABs"

pivoting it in on resisted hits such as Heatran's Magma Storm, Mega Latios's Psychic and Hoopa-U's STABs

say "pivoting in on moves that Tyranitar resists or is immune to from Pokemon such as Heatran and Mega Latios"

good job, 3/3

The last move is the only customizable one depending on and should be used considering the team's needs. Earthquake has the ability to OHKO the omnipresent Heatran and Magnezone, while hitting and 2HKO Magearna and Mega Mawile for a good chunk of damage. (omnipresent is ambiguous here bc it can also apply to Magnezone so just remove it; EQ 2HKOes Magearna and Mawile and improves the flow of the sentence) Superpower aims to OHKOing opposing Tyranitar and Kartana with rocks plus 1 after Stealth Rock and one layer of sSpikes and to, (AC) 2HKO Ferrothorn after Stealth Rock damage, and 2HKO Heatran. while still doing considerably more damage to Heatran than Tyranitar's STABs. (not QC, but I don't see why I can't change this as Superpower 2HKOes Heatran anyway and the sentence flows much better this way) As a more niche one, Fire Punch is another a niche option to hit Steel-Ttypes that aren't worried about Earthquake or Superpower, such as Celesteela and Mega Scizor, while and guaranteeing the OHKO against Kartana.

Setting up entry hazards as soon as possible (the way this is written implies ttar sets them so change that) is very beneficial for this set, since the damage caused by them can be the one needed to guarantee an OHKO on some of its targets, such as Stone Edge against Hoopa-U or Crunch against Mega Latios. PlusIn addition, the residual damage can be used to punish switch-ins that are used to resist Tyranitar's moves, making them less reliable in the long run. Also, tTry to leave the Pokemon that you want to eliminate with Tyranitar in range of unboosted Pursuit. That way, so that Tyranitar will KO the desired target even if it stays on the field, (RC). (period) while it This also avoids using another move that can be a momentum drainer if the target switches out, such as Earthquake against a Flying-types or Crunch against Fairy-types. (original sentence was too long)

Team Options

Although they shareing the same Water-type weakness in form of the common Water-type, Gliscor fits really well with Choice Scarf Tyranitar, since it because Tyranitar can eliminate two of Gliscor's greatests checks in Mega Latios and Mega Latias, (RC). (period) while the former In return, Gliscor can pivot into and deal with Landorus-T and Toxapex, since they can scare away Tyranitar with the possibility of an OHKO after the minimal chip damage or with a Scald burn, respectively. (this sentence was way too long) Clefable is a similar example, also serving as a resistance to the same types as Gliscor, (how is this "a similar example"? gliscor and clef share resistances, but their roles are entirely different, and ttar and gliscor only share an irrelevant poison resistance - remove this, it's fluff) but with has the benefict of switching into Mega Medicham and Hawlucha and Wish-passing Wish passing HP to Tyranitar, making it more durabble during throughout the match. It can also can use Thunder Wave to cripple problematic Pokemon such as Greninja and Mega Alakazam, letting Tyranitar outspeed them and OHKO both. Ferrothorn can be used to pivot into Ash-Greninja and non-HP non-Hidden Power Fire Magearna and provides provide (parallelism with to pivot) some recovery with Leech Seed or bring and chip damage with entry hazards up in the form of Spikes, while Tyranitar can pivot into most of Ferrothorn's nightmares answers (way too casual), such as Heatran and Magnezone. (not QC, but not sure how Tyranitar can pivot into Magnezone unless on a double bc Zone traps Ferro - I'd double check w them) Toxapex can also support Tyranitar by setting up Toxic Spikes, (RC) to punishing switch-ins, and enduring hits from powerful Water-types such as both Greninja and Keldeo, (AC) or and completely walling Mega Scizor and non-Psychium Z Volcarona, (RC). (period) while In return, Toxapex appreciates Tyranitar's capacity ability to deal with Zapdos and Psychic-types such as Tapu Lele, (AC) Mega Latias, and Mega Latios and the Mega Eon duo.

Implemented. Thank you both for the hard work on it!

Moves
========

Stone Edge is the Rock-type STAB attack of preference, letting lets Tyranitar pressure Zapdos, Kyurem-B, Mega Pinsir, regular Gyarados, Mega Charizard X, and Mega Charizard Y while discouraging Tornadus-T from removing entry hazards. Crunch allows Tyranitar to deal with threats that Stone Edge can't, such as Mega Latios, Mega Latias, and Reuniclus, while doing respectable damage against Mega Medicham and Gastrodon and being the most reliable Dark-type STAB move available to Tyranitar. Pursuit is one of the most important moves of this set, having the same Base Power as Crunch on a switch, OHKOing Mega Latios after Stealth Rock, and chipping other Choice item users locked into harmless moves, such as Choice Specs Tapu Lele locked into Psychic-type moves and Magnezone locked into Hidden Power Fire. The last move is the only customizable one depending on the team's needs. Earthquake has the ability to OHKO Heatran and Magnezone and 2HKO Magearna and Mega Mawile. Superpower on the other hand aims to OHKO opposing Tyranitar and Kartana after Stealth Rock and one layer of Spikes, 2HKO Ferrothorn after Stealth Rock damage, and 2HKO Heatran. Fire Punch is a niche option to hit Steel-types that aren't worried about Earthquake or Superpower, such as Celesteela and Mega Scizor, and guarantee the OHKO against Kartana.

Set Details
========

252 Attack EVs, 252 Speed EVs, and a Jolly nature are used to hit as hard and fast as possible. A Choice Scarf is used to outspeed Pokemon like Mega Latios, Mega Pinsir, unboosted Mega Charizard X, and Mega Charizard Y. Sand Stream is the preferred ability to boost Tyranitar's Special Defense stat and provide chip damage on opposing Pokémon Pokemon.

Usage Tips
========

Considering Tyranitar's huge pool of resistances and enormous bulk, pivoting in on moves that Tyranitar resists or is immune to, such as Magma Storm for Heatram Heatran and Psychic from Mega Latios, is beneficial, since it can OHKO them these foes after Stealth Rock damage or deal chip damage with Pursuit. However, beware of Heatran's Corkscrew Crash and Mega Latios's Earthquake, since the former OHKOes it Tyranitar on the switch and the latter 2HKOes Tyranitar it. Providing Setting up entry hazards support as soon as possible is very beneficial for this set, since the damage caused by them can guarantee an OHKO on some of its targets, such as Stone Edge against Hoopa-U or Crunch against Mega Latios. In addition, the residual damage can be used to punish switch-ins that resist Tyranitar's moves, making them less reliable in the long run.
