Build Notes
Sand Stream activates Sandstorm on Mega Evolution, enabling Garchomp's Sand Veil evasion boost and removing opposing weather simultaneously. Dragon Dance raises both Attack and Speed by one stage. One Dragon Dance makes Mega Tyranitar a sweeping threat on top of its weather-setting role. Rock Slide spreads chip and flinch against both opponents. Knock Off strips held items on entry. Protect allows safe setup positioning. Adamant with Speed EVs creates a faster Tyranitar reaching specific Speed tiers after Dragon Dance. The Dragon Dance tech distinguishes this from standard tank builds. It contributes Sandstorm, item disruption, and potential sweep threat from the same slot without requiring a dedicated attacker.
