For a Gen 8 Doubles OU Sand Team, Which is Better; Hippowdon or Tyranitar?

Ehh excuse me on the title, I wasn’t sure what punctuation I should do.

So, I’m building a Sand Team… my first weather team. I know I want Excadrill, Corviknight, and Ryperior. But… I’m having trouble on my sand setter, and I know both Hippowdon and Tyranitar have Sand Stream and that they are good at setting sand in OU. Should I use both? If not, which should I use?

Movesets… you can do em if you’d like.

Tyranitar has higher physical attack, more weaknesses, and sandstorm-boosted special defense, so it’s better at using a weakness policy.

Tyranitar is better stat-wise but has a pretty bad defensive typing, hippowdon is decent stats and pretty ok typing personally I prefer hippowdon

Hippowdon w/smooth rock ability: sand streamEVs: if you want to attack HP 252 Atk 252 Spd 4Moves:Slack-offEarthquakeCurseHeavy-slam

Because of the sandstorm its spd is pretty good so it can be fairly tanky. hope you like it Y.
