[SET]
Tyranitar @ Choice Band
Name: Choice Band (Rock)
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Stone Edge
- Knock Off
- Pursuit
- Fire Punch / Earthquake

[SET NOTES]
Choice Band Tyranitar is the premier physical wallbreaker on Rock teams with its massive base 134 Attack stat and its access to Pursuit allowing it to revenge kill Gholdengo, Latias, and Hisuian Zoroark. Stone Edge deals huge damage to key Pokemon that Rock-types struggle with such as Corviknight, Celesteela, and Mega Venusaur. Knock Off means that Pokemon such as Gholdengo and Slowbro have to be careful when facing Tyranitar, along with removing valuable items from Toxapex and Empoleon. Fire Punch OHKOes the likes of Mega Scizor and Ferrothorn, both of which are threats to Rock teams. Earthquake helps with the Steel, Poison, and Rock mirror matchups by hitting Heatran, Clodsire, and Garganacl with a lot of power. Heavy Slam is also worth mentioning, as it can OHKO the likes of Tapu Bulu and Clefable and helps the Fairy matchup a tremendous amount. Ice Punch is an alternative as well, as it threatens to OHKO foes such as Landorus and Gliscor. Additionally, Tyranitar is able to set up sand, aiding teammates such as Garganacl, Cradilly, and Nihilego with a Special Defense boost. A Jolly nature allows Tyranitar to outspeed Choice Specs Iron Valiant outside of Electric Terrain and Mega Diancie while Sticky Web is up and OHKO both with Heavy Slam. This does, however, cause a loss of power, making the Steel and Poison matchups much harder by not 2HKOing Corviknight and Mega Venusaur with Stone Edge.

Shuckle can set up Sticky Web, which allows Tyranitar to outspeed threats such as Gholdengo and Nidoking. Mega Diancie is a great special wallbreaker that Tyranitar needs on its team to deal with the Fighting-types that threaten it such as Kommo-o and Great Tusk. Cradily gives Tyranitar a switch-in to Ground-type moves that can reliably take hits and proceed to use Recover to maintain its health while also setting up Stealth Rock. Choice Scarf Terrakion pairs amazingly with Tyranitar by taking the physical wallbreaking load off of Tyranitar and splitting it between the two powerhouses. Terrakion is able to revenge kill Mega Lopunny while also benefitting from Tyranitar's Pursuit trapping ability. As a wall, Garganacl appreciates Tyranitar removing Leftovers from Pokemon such as Hippowdon and Ting-Lu. Ogerpon-C creates additional pressure in the Ground and Water matchups, complementing Tyranitar's power with great coverage. Nihilego helps with Tyranitar's weakness to Fairy-types, providing great Special Defense in sand, as well as Poison coverage. Although Tyranitar has great bulk, Rhyperior and Omastar are better checks to Scizor, a huge threat to the Rock type. Rhyperior's great bulk and ability allow it to beat Scizor, while Omastar's neutrality to Steel-type moves allows it to beat Scizor one-on-one.

Name: Choice Band (Rock)

Adamant Nature

[SET NOTES]
Choice Band Tyranitar is the ideal punisher on Rock teams with it's massive 134 base attack stat and it's access to Pursuit being able to revenge kill Gholdengo and Hisui Zoroark (Choice Scarf Latias rking scarf Terrakion?). Stone Edge deals huge damage to Pokemon that Rock-types struggle with such as Corviknight, Celesteela, and Mega Venusaur. Crunch makes it so that Pokemon such as Tapu Lele and Hatterene have to hesitate when facing Tyranitar while also helping with the Psychic-type matchup. Fire Punch OHKOs the likes of Mega Scizor and Ferrothorn both of which are threats to the rock type. Earthquake additionally helps with the Steel-, Poison- and Rock mirror matchups by hitting Clodsire, Garganacl, and Heatran with a lot of power. Heavy Slam is also worth mentioning as it can OHKO the likes of Iron Valiant (I think you're just vaporized, no?) and Tapu Koko (hit hard by Eq, Tapu Bulu might be a better mention?) and helps the Fairy matchup a tremendous amount. Additionally, Tyrnaitar Tyranitar is able to setup sand aiding teammates such as Garganacl, Cradilly, and Nihilego with the special defense boost. (Can you mention Adamant vs Jolly? With Jolly you outspeed non Terrain/Specs Valiant, M.Diancie, whiich makes H.Slam more believeable imo. You'd lose out on some calcs, like possibly vs the steel bird / Poison matchup, which could be mentioned) Shuckle is able to place down Stick Web making Tyanitar Tyranitar faster than Pokemon such as Mega Scizor (You already outspeed it), Gholdengo, and Nidoking. Mega Diancie is a great special breaker that Tyranitar needs on its team to deal with the physical walls such as Skarmory and Forretress while also dealing with the Fighting-types that threaten Tyranitar such as Kommo-o and Great Tusk. Cradilly gives Tyranitar a Ground switch in that can reliably take hits and proceed to Recover back to health while also setting down Stealth Rock. Terrakion pairs amazingly with Tyranitar by taking the physical breaking load off of Tyranitar and splitting it between the two powerhouses.

(recommend splitting into two paragraphs here since you're now talking about teammates.) Shuckle's role as a Sticky Web setter Shuckle can set up Sticky Web, which allows Tyranitar to outspeed threats such as Gholdengo and Nidoking. Mega Diancie is a great special wallbreaker that Tyranitar needs on its team to deal with the Fighting-types that threaten Tyranitar such as Kommo-o and Great Tusk. Cradilly Cradily gives Tyranitar a Ground switch-(AH)in that can reliably take hits and proceed to Recover back to its health while also setting down up Stealth Rock. Choice Scarf Terrakion pairs amazingly with Tyranitar by taking the physical wallbreaking load off of Tyranitar and splitting it between the two powerhouses. Terrakion also benefits from Tyranitar's Pursuit trapping ability while also being able to revenge killing kill Mega Lopunny (the wording here makes it unclear if TTar or Terrak is the one who revenge kills Lopunny.

[SET NOTES]
Choice Band Tyranitar is the premier physical wallbreaker on Rock teams with its massive base 134 Attack stat and its access to Pursuit allowing it to revenge kill Gholdengo, Latias, and Hisuian Zoroark. Stone Edge deals huge damage to key Pokemon that Rock-types struggle with such as Corviknight, Celesteela, and Mega Venusaur. Knock Off makes it so that (or 'means that' would be clearer) Pokemon such as Tapu Lele and Slowbro have to be careful when facing Tyranitar (what are you meaning here? they should be wary of high damage? stone edge hits lele harder than knock does so im not really sure what the point is), along with removing valuable items against from Toxapex and Empoleon. Fire Punch OHKOs OHKOes the likes of Mega Scizor and Ferrothorn, both of which are threats to the Rock type teams. Earthquake helps with the Steel-, Poison- and Rock-type Steel, Poison, and Rock (just saying the type to mean 'type team' is approved for mono) mirror matchups by hitting Clodsire, Garganacl, and Heatran, Clodsire, and Garganacl (making lists parallel, you mention steel first) with a lot of power. Heavy Slam is also worth mentioning, as it can OHKO the likes of Tapu Bulu and Clefable and helps the Fairy matchup a tremendous amount. Ice Punch is an alternative as well, as it threatens to OHKO threats foes (repetition of threat) such as Landorus and Gliscor. Additionally, Tyranitar is able to set up sand, aiding teammates such as Garganacl, Cradilly, and Nihilego with a Special Defense boost. A Jolly nature allows Tyranitar to outspeed Choice Specs Iron Valiant outside of Electric Terrain and Mega Diancie while Sticky Web is up and OHKO both with Heavy Slam. This does, however, cause a loss of power, making the Steel and Poison matchups much harder by not 2HKOing Corviknight and Mega Venusaur with Stone Edge.

Shuckle can set up Sticky Web, which allows Tyranitar to outspeed threats such as Gholdengo and Nidoking. Mega Diancie is a great special wallbreaker that Tyranitar needs on its team to deal with the Fighting-types that threaten Tyranitar it such as Kommo-o and Great Tusk. Cradily gives Tyranitar a Ground switch-in to Ground-type moves that can reliably take hits and proceed to use Recover back to maintain its health while also setting up Stealth Rock. Choice Scarf Terrakion pairs amazingly with Tyranitar by taking the physical wallbreaking load off of Tyranitar and splitting it between the two powerhouses. Terrakion is able to revenge kill Mega Lopunny while also benefitting from Tyranitar's Pursuit trapping ability. As a wall, Garganacl appreciates Tyranitar removing Leftovers from Pokemon such as Hippowdon and Ting-Lu. Ogerpon-C creates additional pressure in the Ground and Water matchups, complimenting complementing Tyranitar's power with great coverage. Nihilego helps with Tyranitar's weakness to Fairy-types, providing great Special Defense in sand, as well as Poison coverage. Although Tyranitar has great bulk, Rhyperior and Omastar are better checks to Scizor, a huge threat to the Rock type. Rhyperior's great bulk and ability allow it to beat Scizor, while Omastar's neutrality to Steel-type moves allows it to beat Scizor one on one one-on-one.
