I like Tyranitar but I really hate how Sand Stream basically mandates building the rest of the team around it and Unnerve is useless.

You don't have to make a full sand team and without sand stream Tyranitar would be useless.

You don't though, if anything we're in a time where using just that and excadrill is considered a "sand team" now.

I don't want to use Excadrill because I don't like it.

What if I cuck myself by using Tyranitar and set up sand that my opponent can take more advantage of than me?

Then stop being so shitty at team building unironically. If a Pokémon is bad for your team don’t use it.

There was a buff back in gen 4 or 5? that rock types get 50% more special defense in the sand.

Does it happen though?
All this time being used to complain and solicit (you)s from /vp/ could be used trying out this stuff in practice on showdown

You don't have to build a dedicated sand team to use Tyranitar. It's ability is mainly to benefit itself, and some people, like me, also use it as a way to not get trampled by opposing weather. Haven't built a team without Tyranitar since gen 4, and not once did I use sand rush, sand force, or sand veil mons. It's so versatile.

Same as above, multiscale only gives a boost as long as the pokemon has full HP whereas sand buffs Tyra's defenses for 5-8 turns, aids its teammates, damages opponents and cancels their weather. It's just too good to pass

put a corviknight on your team and go from there. if you have an exca check (covered obviously) and have a good number of sand-immune mons it's not a big deal. people ran sd gliscor + bulky kart + mega ttar last gen and it was fine even if it barely took advantage of sand.

My dude, get any Pokémon you want, call it Tyranitar and then put it on your team, it'll probably be what you're looking for.

lmao in no universe do you need a full sand team to use tyranitar.
there wasn't even any abilities that benefited from sand pre-gen 5 and tyranitar's competetive peak was gen 3 and 4.
