With Ceaseless Edge and Stone Axe, Tyranitar becomes a potent entry hazard setter. Salt Cure pressures entry hazard removers like Corviknight, Great Tusk, and Toxapex while discouraging Pokemon that threaten Tyranitar like Iron Valiant and Gholdengo from switching in. Tyranitar also has the option of running Parting Shot to pivot on its would be switch-ins. Knock Off removes items like Covert Cloak from Pokemon like Toxapex and Gholdengo, which would otherwise block Salt Cure. The listed EV spread lets Tyranitar outrun most variants of Corviknight and Kingambit while having enough special bulk to survive +2 Make It Rain from defensive Gholdengo under Sand on top of checking other special attackers like Skeledirge, Indeedee, and Rotom-H. Threats to Tyranitar include Annihilape, Iron Valiant, Palafin, Gholdengo, and Great Tusk. Tera Water checks Palafin and Gholdengo, while Tera Flying and Fairy check Great Tusks and Iron Valiant. Heavy-Duty Boots avoids entry hazard damage, which can be useful with Tera Flying, while Leftovers increases Tyranitar’s longevity. Tyranitar prefers bulky teammates like Corviknight, Rotom-W, and Rotom-C to patch up its Ground weakness. Physically defensive Toxapex is appreciated to handle the likes of Palafin and Iron Valiant and covers for Tyranitar's Fighting, Water, and Fairy weaknesses while also providing entry removal with Mortal Spin. Offensive Gholdengo is a good teammate, as it blocks entry hazard removal while also being able to throw off powerful attacks and spread status with Infernal Parade and Thunder Wave. Powerful offensive Pokemon like Iron Valiant, Roaring Moon, and Palafin can more easily break holes with the chip damage provided by Tyranitar.

In Generation 9, Tyranitar gains three new powerful utility moves to choose in the form of Ceaseless Edge, Stone Axe, and Salt Cure. Ceaseless Edge and Stone Axe allows Tyranitar to set up Spikes and Stealth Rocks and attack the opponent respectively while also attacking opponent in the process, bypassing Taunt and Magic Bounce. Salt Cure wears down common switch-ins like Great Tusk and Ting Lu, while inflicting large amounts of chip damage to its answers like Toxapex, Corviknight, or Dondozo. Knock Off allows it to remove important items such as Leftovers, Black Sludge, Assault Vest, or Covert Cloak among other items. Sand Stream further bolsters Tyranitar defensive and supportive utility by increasing its Special Defensive allowing it to check special attackers like Skeledirge, and Indeedee., and the various Rotom forms. (Doesn't really check Rotom's outside of Heat (even then), it is a losing battle so calling it a check is iffy at best) Whereas Shore Up under Sand Stream heals for 2/3 of its HP, and Salt Cure in tandem with Sand Stream increases the chip damage done by Tyranitar. Terastallization in tandem with Salt Cure and its great defensive stats can allow Tyranitar to help beat otherwise threats such as Iron Valiant, Palafin-Hero, Gholdengo, Great Tusk among other powerful meta threats. Threats to Tyranitar include Iron Valiant, Palafin-Hero, Gholdengo, and Great Tusk, as such Teratallization is of immense value as it can flip resistences and allow Tyranitar to heal or harass.

However, as to save your Terastallization for something else, the same checks to those aforementioned threats are some of Tyranitar's best teammates. Tyranitar's best partners include physically defensive Toxapex can much of the aforementioned Pokemon as it can handle the likes of Palafin while also providing your team with removal in the form of Mortal Spin and further increases chip through poison.and allow you to win the hazard war. Corviknight and Rotom-Wash or Rotom-Mow are other great teammates since they help patch up Ground weaknesses for Tyranitar and its teammates. Offensively Gholdengo is a good teammate for the fact that it blocks hazard removal and allows you to keep up hazard and wear down the opponents team with hazards, Sand Stream, and Salt Cure while also being able to throw off powerful Make It Rains and spread Burn status with Infernal Parade. The chip damage provided by Tyranitar can allow powerful offensive Pokemon like Iron Valiant, Roaring Moon, or Dragonite break holes in the enemies team later on in the game. Other Pokemon such as Palafin-Hero, Great Tusk, or Iron Hands can come in and wear down or KO common Tyranitar switch-ins and allow it to clean up late game.

With the addition of Ceaseless Edge and Stone Axe, and Salt Cure, Tyranitar becomes a potent bulky entry hazard setter. Ceaseless Edge and Stone Axe allows Tyranitar to attack the opponent and set up Spikes and Stealth Rocks, bypassing Taunt and Magic Bounce, Salt Cure also lets it pressure hazard removers like Corviknight, Great Tusk, and Toxapex, while discouraging Pokemon that threaten Tyranitar like Iron Valiant and Gholdengo from switching in. and Salt Cure wears down common switch-ins like Great Tusk and Ting Lu, while inflicting large amounts of chip damage to its answers like Toxapex, Corviknight, or Dondozo in tandem with Sand Stream. Sand Stream bolsters Tyranitar defensive and supportive utility by increasing its Special Defensive, allowing it to check special attackers like Skeledirge, and Indeedee, and Rotom-Heat, also providing more chip damage in tandem with Salt Cure. Threats to Tyranitar include Annihilape, Iron Valiant, Palafin-Hero, Gholdengo, and Great Tusk, as such Teratallization has immense value in potentially allowing Tyranitar to flip its resistances and check those threats. Leftovers helps Tyranitar stay healthy. Heavy-Duty Boots can also be ran to avoid hazard damage, and is especially good alongside Tera Flying- and Bug.

Can you add a sentence on Knock Off and Parting Shot? id specifically mention how Knock Off is good for removing Covert Cloak from Pex, Dengo, Tusk etc.

Tyranitar's best fits on bulky teams that can take advantage of its residual damage well. Good partners include physically defensive Toxapex to handle the likes of Palafin and Iron Valiant and covers Tyranitar's Fighting, Water, and Fairy weaknesses while also providing your team with removal in the form of Mortal Spin, further increasing chip potential through poison. Corviknight and Rotom-Wash or Rotom-Mow are other great teammates that helps patch up Ground weaknesses for Tyranitar and its teammates. Offensively Gholdengo is a good teammate for the fact that it blocks hazard removal while also being able to throw off powerful attacks and further spread status with Infernal Parade and Thunder Wave. Make It Rains and spread Burn status with Infernal Parade. Powerful offensive Pokemon like Iron Valiant, Roaring Moon, or Palafin appreciate the chip damage provided by Tyranitar, as it allows them more easily break holes in the enemies' team later on in the game.

2/2

The listed EV spread lets Tyranitar outrun most variants of Corviknight and Kingambit while maximizing its special bulk with Sand Stream to check special attackers like Skeledirge, and Indeedee, and Rotom-Heat. EV spreads and speed-creep are complex, i think unless there's no specific benchmarks (say, enough spdef to live ghold make it rain) you don't mention it but proper GP should handle this Threats to Tyranitar include Annihilape, Iron Valiant, Palafin-Hero, Gholdengo, and Great Tusk, as such thus Teratallization has immense value in potentially allowing Tyranitar to flip its resistances and check those threats. Leftovers with Shore Up not sure "with shore up" is necessary because shore up is mandatory increases Tyranitar’s longevity;, (change semi-colon to comma) while Heavy-Duty Boots can also be ran to avoids entry hazard damage, (RC) which can be useful with Tera Flying or Bug. Tyranitar's prefers bulky teammates like Corviknight and Rotom-Wash or Rotom-Mow Corviknight, Rotom-W, and Rotom-C apparently rotom-mow is Rotom-C for some reason? to patch up its Ground weaknesses, as well. separating into 2 sentences Physically defensive Toxapex is appreciated to handle the likes of Palafin and Iron Valiant and covers for Tyranitar's Fighting, Water, and Fairy weaknesses while also providing your team with entry removal in the form of with Mortal Spin.

Powerful offensive Pokemon like Iron Valiant, Roaring Moon, or and Palafin can more easily break holes with the chip damage provided by Tyranitar., as it allows them more easily break holes in the enemies' team later on in the game. this sentence just says "they can break holes thanks to ttar's chip" twice basically so don't think the second one is necessary

pshot is slashed but isn't mentioned anywhere, so i think if it is being mentioned it needs to go before "the listed EV spread" or dropped from the set if it isn't

Knock Off allows it to remove Covert Cloak this should probably be "removes Covert Cloak" or "removes items like Covert Cloak", but up to you (yea i like 'items like' because it removes other stuff too) from Pokemon like Toxapex or and Gholdengo, (RC) (keep comma here, commas should always go before which) which would otherwise block Salt Cure. The listed EV spread lets Tyranitar outrun most variants of Corviknight and Kingambit while maximizing its special bulk with Sand Stream to check special attackers like Skeledirge, and Indeedee, and Rotom-Heat. EV spreads and speed-creep are complex, i think unless there's no specific benchmarks (say, enough spdef to live ghold make it rain) you don't mention it but proper GP should handle this (yea you need to explain what the actaul benchmarks do - 'most variants' isn't really ideal - what do you alway outspeed?) Threats to Tyranitar include Annihilape, Iron Valiant, Palafin-Hero, Gholdengo, and Great Tusk, as such thus (change to 'so' / start a new sentence because 'thus' isn't really a connective) Teratallization has immense value in potentially allowing Tyranitar to flip its resistances and check those threats. (you should probably explain what each tera type does instead of just "oh you can tera and flip the mus" when theres 3 different types and the benefits aren't clear) Leftovers with Shore Up not sure "with shore up" is necessary because shore up is mandatory increases Tyranitar’s longevity;, (change semi-colon to comma) while Heavy-Duty Boots can also be ran to avoids entry hazard damage, (RC) (keep comma here too) which can be useful with Tera Flying or Bug.

Powerful offensive Pokemon like Iron Valiant, Roaring Moon, or and Palafin can more easily break holes with the chip damage provided by Tyranitar., as it allows them more easily break holes in the enemies' team later on in the game. this sentence just says "they can break holes thanks to ttar's chip" twice basically so don't think the second one is necessary

pshot is slashed but isn't mentioned anywhere, so i think if it is being mentioned it needs to go before "the listed EV spread" or dropped from the set if it isn't - yes you need to explain all slashed moves
