Choice Band Tyranitar is a formidable wallbreaker courtesy of its remarkable Attack and good offensive movepool. Its solid natural bulk further boosted by sand grants it plenty of opportunities to enter the field and wallbreak, such as in the face of offensive threats like Gengar, Noivern, Iron Jugulis, and special Salamence. Offensively, the sand helps further chip down defensive foes like Wo-Chien, Tera Fairy Slowking, and Scream Tail, and it diminishes Tsareena and Florges's Synthesis. Earthquake hits Pokemon like Tinkaton, Bisharp, Pawmot, and opposing Tyranitar super effectively. Ice Punch threatens Ground-types like Hippowdon and Donphan as well as various Pokemon like Salamence, Noivern, and Wo-Chien without risking a Stone Edge miss. Tera Flying allows Tera Blast to OHKO would-be checks like defensive Slither Wing and Paldean Tauros-W, and it gets rid of most of Tyranitar's weaknesses, allowing it to sit on Hippowdon and Quagsire and take on potential revenge killers like Scizor, Slither Wing, Lucario, and Gyarados. Aside from maintaining the sand boost, Tera Rock further skyrockets Stone Edge's power, granting significant odds to OHKO Scream Tail after Stealth Rock and 2HKOing physically defensive Wo-Chien. Tera Blast can still be run for a more reliable Rock-type attack when Stone Edge's power isn't necessary, such as against Talonflame and Iron Jugulis.

Tyranitar is perfectly suited for offense and bulky offense teams. Pivots like Slowking, Talonflame, and Noivern can bring Tyranitar in safely on the field to wreak absolute havoc, especially as they tend to invite in Pokemon such as opposing Slowking and Slowbro. Additionally, Slowking’s Future Sight enhances Tyranitar's wallbreaking, while Noivern can overwhelm a shared check in Tinkaton; both of which pressure the likes of Paldean Tauros-W, Slither Wing, Quagsire, and Donphan for it. Slowking and Talonflame also switch into offensive threats that beat Tyranitar, such as Slither Wing, Lucario, and Tinkaton, with Slowking handling Paldean Tauros-W as well. Entry hazards from Pokemon such as Tinkaton and Sandy Shocks take advantage of Tyranitar's forced switches and chip down its checks easily. Setup sweepers like Salamence, Lucario, and Gyarados enjoy Tyranitar wallbreaking early-game; it helps pressure Talonflame and Slowbro and overwhelm shared checks like Quagsire, Hippowdon, and Scream Tail for them to sweep more easily.

I don't really see the point of slashing Assurance myself, Crunch is already powerful enough off Ttar to even 2HKO Quag with minimal chip anyways. Going to remove all mentions entirely for now.

Ice Punch threatens Ground-types like Hippowdon and Donphan as well as various Pokemon like Salamence, Noivern, and Wo-Chien without risking a Stone Edge miss. With entry hazard support, Assurance 2HKOes Quagsire and potentially OHKO Scream Tail. Tera Flying allows Tera Blast to OHKO would-be checks like defensive Slither Wing and Paldean Tauros-W, and it gets rid of most of Tyranitar's weaknesses, allowing it to sit on Hippowdon and Quagsire more comfortably and take on potential revenge killers like Scizor, Slither Wing, Lucario, and Gyarados. Aside from maintaining the sand boost, Tera Rock further skyrockets its Stone Edge, granting significant odds to OHKO Scream Tail after Stealth Rock and 2HKOing physically defensive Wo-Chien. Worth noting Tera Blast is still an option even with Tera Rock as a more reliable Rock STAB if necessary.

Tyranitar is perfectly suited for offense and bulky offense teams. Pivots like Slowking, Talonflame, and Noivern can bring Tyranitar in safely on the field to wreak absolute havoc, especially as they tend to invite in Pokemon such as opposing Slowking and Slowbro. Additionally, Slowking provides Future Sight to crank up Tyranitar's wallbreaking duties further—notably smacking Slither Wing and Hippowdon hard—while Noivern can overwhelm a shared check in Tinkaton and pressures physical walls like Quagsire and Donphan for it. Slowking and Talonflame also compensate for Tyranitar's defensive shortcomings by switching into threats like Slither Wing, Lucario, Gallade, and Tinkaton, which threaten it out. Entry hazards from Pokemon such as Tinkaton and Sandy Shocks take advantage of Tyranitar's forced switches and chip down its checks easily, which is even more necessary for Assurance variants. Setup sweepers like Salamence, Lucario, and Gyarados enjoy Tyranitar wallbreaking early-game; it helps pressure Talonflame and Slowbro and overwhelm shared checks like Quagsire, Hippowdon, and Scream Tail for them to sweep more easily.

If you could fit in how Slowking and Noivern handle Water-Tauros that would be great as it is one of the better responses to Banded Ttar.
