Tyranitar @ Choice Band
Ability: Sand Stream
Tera Type: Dark
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Knock Off
- Stone Edge
- Earthquake
- Ice Punch
The fallen king of OU reigns supreme in UU! Choice Band Tyranitar is one of UU's premier wallbreakers and can come in on threats such as Latios and Hydreigon. Earthquake hits foes that resist its STAB moves, such as Cobalion and Tinkaton, while Ice Punch shreds Hydrapple and is more reliable than Stone Edge against Mandibuzz and Iron Jugulis. Tera Dark enhances Knock Off's damage output, letting it 2HKO itemless Toxapex, and removes Tyranitar's Rock typing, improving its matchups against Metagross, Greninja, and Donphan. Tyranitar fits on a variety of teams such as balance and sand, using the sand it summons to further chip opposing Pokemon. Since Tyranitar does not want to switch in directly, Flip Turn from Keldeo, Chilly Reception from Slowking, and U-turn from Scizor and Lokix can bring it in safely. Entry hazards also wear Tyranitar down, making Donphan and Excadrill appreciated teammates. Excadrill in particular can use Tyranitar's sand to potentially sweep. Tyranitar struggles against Fighting-types and Pokemon with Fighting-type coverage such as Conkeldurr, Keldeo, and Weavile, so answers to these Pokemon like Slither Wing, Clodsire, and Skarmory are greatly appreciated.
