Tyranitar is a great Stealth Rock setter with ample defensive utility, checking dangerous special attackers like Gengar, Noivern, and Salamence. Rock Blast is an alternative to Stone Edge that breaks Mimikyu's Disguise and opposing Tyranitar's Substitute, but it is overall less powerful. Earthquake hits would-be switch-ins such as Tinkaton and Bisharp. Dragon Tail can be used over Earthquake to phaze setup sweepers like Oricorio-E and Polteageist, though Tyranitar loses against the aforementioned Earthquake targets. Tera Ground provides an Electric immunity, which is particularly useful against Sandy Shocks; the given Ground typing also provides a stronger Earthquake and allows it to beat opposing Dragon Dance Tyranitar. Tera Flying provides an emergency Ground immunity and a Fighting resistance, both of which help against Pawmot, opposing Tyranitar, and Slither Wing. The Stealth Rock weakness given by Tera Flying also makes Heavy-Duty Boots worth considering; this lets it avoid otherwise crippling entry hazard damage and stay heatlhy longer. Tera Fairy gives Tyranitar a crucial resistance to Fighting, letting it bait the aforementioned foes and shedding its Ground weakness. It also helps Tyranitar to survive Ground-type coverage from faster foes like Haxorus and Salamence. However, Tera Fairy and Flying remove the Special Defense boost given by sand, as well as Tyranitar's immunity to its own sand, making Tyranitar worse against threats such as Gengar, Maushold, and Prankster Grafaiai, so it must be careful when Terastallizing.

Tyranitar's excellent defensive utility makes it fit well on bulky offense and balance teams. Tyranitar's weakness to strong physical attackers like Slither Wing and Pawmot makes checks to them like Salamence and Quagsire great teammates; the latter can also form an entry hazard-stacking core with Tyranitar, making it easier to wear down foes like Tinkaton and Wo-Chien. Salamence provides a safer switch-in into Talonflame, preventing it from taking a burn or U-turn chip. Scream Tail appreciates Tyranitar checking Gengar and taking pressure off of it as a check to certain special attackers like Salamence and Iron Jugulis. It can also check the aforementioned physical attackers alongside others like Gallade, and it can provide Wish support to keep Tyranitar healthy as well. Tinkaton can remove Heavy-Duty Boots from Pokemon like Talonflame, Slowking, and Sandy Shocks, making Stealth Rock more effective in wearing down the opposition, especially if Tyranitar is paired with a Spikes setter like Sandy Shocks. Tyranitar being checked by bulky Ground-types like Quagsire, Hippowdon, and Donphan makes the likes of Tsareena and Wo-Chien desirable as teammates; Tsareena in particular also gives Tyranitar free entry against Noivern and Gengar via U-turn.

Tyranitar is a great Stealth Rock setter with ample defensive utility, checking dangerous special attackers like Gengar, Noivern, and Toxtricity. Rock Blast is an alternative to Stone Edge that breaks Mimikyu's Disguise and breaks opposing Tyranitar's Substitute, but it is overall less powerful. Earthquake hits would-be switch-ins such as Tinkaton and Bisharp. Dragon Tail can be used over Earthquake to phaze setup sweepers like Oricorio-Pom-Pom and Polteageist, though it loses out on the aforementioned Earthquake targets. Tera Fairy gives Tyranitar a crucial resistance to Fighting, letting it bait foes like Pawmot and Slither Wing. It also sheds its Ground weakness, which lets it survive Ground-type coverage from faster foes like Sandy Shocks and Salamence. However, losing out on the Special Defense boost given by sand and its other resistances makes Tyranitar worse against threats such as Gengar, Maushold, and Prankster Grafaiai, so it must be careful when Terastallizing.

Rearrange the tera mentions matching my changes above, adding the new ones too

Changes to the spread don't impact too much but worth noting Sandy EP doesn't do too much to full SpD Ttar where you talk about Tera Fairy. Might want to change it to EQ from Haxorus instead or something.

Tyranitar is a great Stealth Rock setter with ample defensive utility, checking dangerous special attackers like Gengar, Noivern, and Toxtricity. mence feels like a more relevant example than toxt tbh?

Earthquake hits would-be switch-ins such as Tinkaton and Bisharp. Dragon Tail can be used over Earthquake to phaze setup sweepers like Oricorio-Pom-Pom and Polteageist, though it loses out on the aforementioned Earthquake targets. Tera Ground provides an Electric immunity, which is particularly useful against Sandy Shocks; the given Ground typing also provides a stronger Earthquake and lets Tyranitar avoid chip damage from its own sand. can mention that it lets you do things vs opposing dd ttar too Tera Flying provides an emergency Ground immunity and a Fighting resistance, both of which help against Pawmot, opposing Tyranitar, and Slither Wing. Tera Fairy gives Tyranitar a crucial resistance to Fighting, letting it bait the aforementioned foes and shedding its Ground weakness, surviving Ground-type coverage from faster foes like Haxorus and Salamence. However, Tera Fairy and Flying remove the Special Defense boost given by sand and its other resistances, making Tyranitar worse against threats such as Gengar, Maushold, and Prankster Grafaiai, so it must be careful when Terastallizing.is it worth suggesting boots if running flying?

Scream Tail appreciates Tyranitar checking Gengar and taking pressure off of it as a check to certian special attackers like Salamence and Iron Jugulis; it can also check the aforementioned physical attackers alongside others like Gallade, and it can provide Wish support to keep Tyranitar healthy as well.

SKIPPERGAMEZ
- I'd recommend using blue for additions and red for removals (and green or purple for comments). It seems counterintuitive but it's the general standard for GP, so it'll make your checks easier to read and implement.
- Be careful when adding content. Content changes aren't ideal in GP because the content has been checked by people who play the meta before the GP stage, so if you add things, you end up bypassing the QC stage and potentially adding wrong info. You adding that Tera Fairy/Flyingr emoves all of TTar's resistances straight up isn't true because Fairy still resists Dark. With GP, remember that you're checking the content that is tehre and not the content that you want to be there. Don't add things to that content.
- Your change in the second paragraph created repetition because the sentence now says Scream Tail twice. Only replace 'it' with the Pokemon name if there's ambiguity there.
