TyranitariteTyranitar is listed as a Rock/Dark type in the current Pokémon Champions format, with usage data pulled from competitive teams, tournament results and Showdown-ready pastes tracked by MetaVGC. This page brings together its most common moveset, nature, ability, item, teammates and type weaknesses so you can judge where Tyranitar fits in a VGC team.
The most common build highlights Sand Stream, Tyranitarite and Adamant 32/32/0/0/2/0. Its frequent moves include Rock Slide, Protect, Knock Off, Low Kick, Ice Punch, and Crunch. Treat those choices as a data-backed starting point: they show what players are bringing, while EV spreads, Tera Type and the final move slot should still respond to your expected matchups.
Defensively, Tyranitar has important weaknesses to fighting 4x, bug 2x, fairy 2x, grass 2x, ground 2x, steel 2x, water 2x. That matters during teambuilding because a strong composition needs ways to cover those attacks without giving up offensive pressure. Partners such as sinistcha, excadrill, corviknight, sneasler, and incineroar appear often because they can add positioning, type coverage, speed control or safer switches into common checks.
