Which is better against Leon's team: Goodra or Tyranitar?

Either works well, but I’d go for Tyranitar. With the moveset in this answer, it can take down 2/3 of Leon’s team super effectively.

Tyranitar @ anythingAbility: Sand Stream- Earthquake- Stone Edge- Crunch- Fire Punch / Thunder Punch / Ice Punch

It also has solid defenses and an excellent Attack stat, even if it is hindered a bit by its slowness. Leon is somewhat easy, so you shouldn’t have much trouble beating him, no matter which one you choose.

Hope I helped!

Tyranitar is better with coverage over 3 of leon’s Pokemon, those being Aegislash, Charizard, and Dragapult. Goodra only has coverage over Dragapult and Haxorous.

Long story short, use Tyranitar he is better in this situation.

Overall, Tyranitar has the edge over Leon in my opinion. It has STABs that deal with Leon’s Charizard, Aeigislash, Dragapult and possibly Cinderace with Crunch and Stone Edge. Also, its high Attack Stat and bulk to successfully deal with Haxorus as well which Goodra lacks the bulk to survive. Due to this, I believe Tyranitar is the better option, especially for Charizard. Also, coverage options such as the Punches, Breaking Swipe and Brick Break help to cover Inteleon or Rillaboom respectively.
