Mega Tyranitar or Mega Gyarados?

I am playing Pokemon ultra sun and moon and desperately need a DD sweeper mega Pokemon (I refuse myself to use a team without mega Pokemon once I get one). I’m duvidous between mega gyarados and mega tyranitar. both have astronomical attack stats, medium speed (but get’s strongly increased by DD) andgreat defenses. i’m truly duvidous which one I should use on my team

my team is:

Z-Move sweeper MarshadowScarfed Magneton (which I prefered over magnezone due to the higher speed)Bulky Sitrus Berry MantineLeftovers Support BlisseyFocus Sash Sticky Web Ribombee (that is my favorite Pokemon and i’m not considering remove it)The question

if you have a moveset, it will drastically increase your chances to have a best answer. I’m really suprised with how fast it takes for an answer to be gaven, so I’ll wait for an answer. Thank you.

I would say that it is based off your preference.I think that mega tyranitar is extremely bulky, and having its special defence boosted by sand stream, it can be an really good sweeper. Even though it’s speed is lower than mega gyarados’s, it has stronger defences, stronger attack, and gets the benefit of doing a bit of damage every turn to the opponent. Even if gyarados does has better speed, you are probaly not going for a spedy mega, as 81 and 71 are bad speed stats. Mega gyarados, though, has a better typing, as mega tyranitar can be knocked down quickly with approximately 40 percent of all types. Mega gyarados has a abillity that is worse than sand stream, mold breaker. So, if you want a faster Pokemon(stil pretty slow) with less weaknesses, go for mega gyarados. If you don’t mind slowness and like beast attack, go for mega tyranitar.

Salamence @ SalamenciteAbility: intimidateEVs: 44 HP / 252 Atk / 212 SpeAdamant nature- dragon dance- double-edge- earthquake- roostSalamence is the best Pokemon in Ubers at mega evolving and using dragon dance. Unlike both Gyarados and Tyranitar, Salamence isn’t countered by Groudon, which is the most common Pokemon in Ubers. Earthquake hits rock and steel Pokemon that resist flying, such as Necrozma and Magearna. Roost lets it find more opportunities to set up. Intimidate weakens an opponent before mega evolving and possibly makes setup easier. 212 speed EVs lets mega Salamence outspeed 100 base speed opponents, like Yveltal and Rayquaza. (though it might still have trouble with 100 acid speed opponents) 44 HP lets it survive Ho-Oh’s life orb-boosted brave bird after taking stealth rock damage.
