Simple answer: Ice PunchMore detailed answer: Why tlf are you using offensive Tyranitar in Gen 8 AG?!? Don’t. Please don’t!!!I started by asking the question toLider Meliodas, an experienced AG player. They responded with this:

ice punch for zyg

You got your answer on that, but this question makes me rage so I can’t leave it here.I also askedLider Meliodasif offensive Tyranitar is good in Gen 8 AG. Almost all of us know the answer but here is what they said:

Not much, with monsters like zac-c and hero. ttar is much better as caly check.

Of course, Yveltal can also Caly-Shadow handle this but Tyranitar also can counter Yveltal so yeah :/Why would you use offensive Tyranitar anyways? Zacian-C exists, Groudon exist, Necrozma Duskmane exists, ThE wHolE mEta ExIsTs. Just no. It’s horrible. Here is the smogon set for AG (which I also use):

Tyranitar @ LeftoversAbility: Sand StreamEVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpDCareful Nature- Stealth Rock- Rock Blast- Foul Play- Rest

So yeah, Ice Punch for Zygarde, other than that, use Tyranitar as a Specially Defensive counter to things like Caly-Shadow and Yveltal. Also check theviability rankingslikeFrozen Infernosaid. You will find much better offensive Pokemon to use. Also, if you want to use Physical Tyranitar, play OU I don’t play OU so I looked at an OU set because someone deceived me ;-;

Tyranitar @ Choice BandAbility: Sand StreamEVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 SpeAdamant Nature- Stone Edge- Crunch- Fire Punch- Ice Punch

So yeah. OU is the place to use Physical Tyranitar. I also recommend checking outthisfor more info. Hope this helps.
