- Tyranitar functions as an entry hazard setter that can reliably check Chi-Yu.
- The decision between Low Kick and Ice Beam depends of the weaknesses of your team. If your team is weak to Ting-Lu, use Low Kick; inversely, you can use Ice Beam for Great Tusk
- Sand Stream helps Tryanitar to check special attackers sich as Chi-Yu and Flutter Mane and supports teammates like Houndstone.
- The Speed EVs are to outspeed Corviknight and Skeledirge.
- Tera Ghost gives Tyranitar a Ground neutrality and a Fighting Immunity, which are immensely helpful against Koraidon for the weather war, as well as its most common partners Great Tusk and Ting-Lu. Tyranitar can either Thunder Wave Koraidon or beat Ting-Lu or Great Tusk one-on-one with the respective coverage. Lastly, it allows Tyranitar to escape trapping attempts from Gothitelle and Dugtrio.
- Tera Rock removes Tyranitar's Dark typing, keeping its Fire resistance to stop Chi-Yu while also being able to tank Flutter Mane's Moonblast effectively, giving Flutter Mane's common checks like Corviknight and Clodsire an easier time.
- Tera Fairy provides Tyranitar with a Fighting neutrality while also preserving a Dark resistance for Chi-Yu. Additionally it also is able to take Moonblast and Shadow Ball neutraly from Flutter Mane.
- Houndstone is a good partner, since it can take advantage of sand from Tyranitar. Another great partner is bulky Water-types such as Toxapex, Alomomola and Dondozo, due to Tyranitar helping them against their most common revenge killers on sun teams, Chi-Yu and Flutter Mane. In return, they provide Tyranitar with help against Koraidon and Great Tusk; Alomomola is especially valuable, since it provides Wish to Tyranitar.
