[SET COMMENTS]

Tyranitar's unique typing alongside fantastic special bulk under sand allows it to check dangerous threats like Latios and Zapdos well. Tyranitar's ability to remove items with a strong Knock Off and pressure entry hazard removers like Mandibuzz and Excadrill from switching in safely make it an effective Stealth Rock setter. Thunder Wave allows Tyranitar to punish switch-ins like Keldeo, Tinkaton, and Kommo-o. It can also be used to cripple Tera Steel Latios and Double Dance Iron Crown to help other teammates deal with them better. Earthquake can be used to do heavy damage to Tinkaton, Excadrill, and Cobalion, but without Attack investment, it does not threaten much else. Ice Punch is an option if Tyranitar is paired with Excadrill to lure in and remove a weakened Hydrapple to help it sweep more easily. Leftovers is the preferred item choice to provide Tyranitar with passive recovery. Smooth Rock can be used to provide Sand Rush Excadrill with more sand turns but is far from necessary. Heavy-Duty Boots can help offset entry hazard damage. Chople Berry is a situational item that allows Tyranitar to check Nasty Plot Tornadus-T and Aura Sphere Latios. The given Speed EVs allow Tyranitar to outpace Skeledirge and hit it hard before potentially being punished by Will-O-Wisp. Tera Fairy removes Tyranitar's glaring weaknesses, particularly to Fighting, allowing it to punish Pokemon like Kommo-o. It also allows Tyranitar to deal with a boosted Draco Meteor from Latios and KO it back while improving its matchup against Lokix. Tera Ghost can be used for a similar reason to remove Tyranitar's weaknesses while also potentially preventing Excadrill from being able to remove its Stealth Rock. Tera Water is another option to improve the matchup into Greninja and Choice-locked Keldeo; however, under sand, Tyranitar can take a boosted Surf from them anyway. Tera on Tyranitar should be used in emergencies, as removing its Rock typing takes away the boost to its Special Defense under sand and causes it to take damage from sand as well.

Tyranitar fits best on offensive structures that can force progress, as it is susceptible to being worn down quickly. Excadrill is a great partner that can remove entry hazards for Tyranitar, as well as capitalize on the sand with Sand Rush to turn it into a deadly cleaner. Tinkaton pairs nicely with Tyranitar to act as a secondary check to Latios and Tornadus-T, as both are capable of chipping away at Tyranitar or potentially KOing it with Fighting-type coverage. Tinkaton also helps against other threatening wallbreakers like Ogerpon formes and Lokix; pickpocket Tinkaton variants are able to steal their Heavy-Duty Boots, causing them to slowly get whittled down by Tyranitar's Stealth Rock and sand. Other U-turn punishers like Rocky Helmet Kommo-o and Zapdos can also support Tyranitar well. Slowking and Tornadus-T can help deal with Kommo-o, Cobalion, and Keldeo. Tornadus-T can also remove Heavy-Duty Boots from Zapdos, allowing Tyranitar to get meaningful damage on it with Stealth Rock throughout a battle. Toxapex and Hydrapple do not mind having their item removed thanks to Regenerator, so partners like Zapdos, Iron Crown, and Mamoswine can help threaten them.

Tyranitar's unique typing alongside fantastic special bulk under sand allows it to check dangerous threats like Latios and Zapdos well.

Heavy-Duty Boots can help offset entry hazard damage but Leftovers are generally preferred. (this has already been said - could be kept if you want to explain why recovery is better than free switches eg if ttar doesn't switch around too much, but up to you) Chople Berry is a situational item that allows Tyranitar to check Nasty Plot Tornadus-T, Aura Sphere Latios, and Iron Crown in a pinch. (you mean focus crown? you're not checking it if it clicks steel move) The given Speed EVs allow Tyranitar to outpace Skeledirge to and hit it hard before potentially being punished by Will-O-Wisp. Tera Fairy removes Tyranitar's glaring weaknesses, particularly to Fighting coverage, (it's weak to fighting, not just fighting coverage. kommo's fighting moves aren't even coverage, theyre stab) allowing it to punish Pokemon like Kommo-o.

notes for amcheck

Rugi this looks good for a first check, keep it up!
- Make sure to include the set, the set comments tag, and the credits in your check. Analysis formatting is important because any small mistakes there mean the upload won't go through, so make sure those parts are checked too.
- Commas before 'and' 'but' 'or' are only needed if both clauses / parts of the sentence are independent. If only one clause is independent, the comma is not needed.
- The first mention of hazars per paragraph should be 'enrty hazards'; after that, hazards is fine.
- Weather conditions (sand, rain, sun etc) are not capitalised.
- Outoace Skeledirge and hit it hard is correct; your suggested comment would remove the subject linked to 'outpace.' You'd also remove the content in potentially' punish but just changing to punish. Ending a comment with 'but you do you...' is also not constructive and can come off poorly.
- Choice as in Choice item / Choice-locked should be capitalised.
- Commas should be used before 'as' and 'since' if meaning because.
