  • Times have changed around Tyranitar, so if it wants to use a Stealth Rock set, it has to use this to make the most out of its great Special bulk:
    -Stealth Rock
    -Crunch
    -Pursuit
    -Fire Blast/Superpower/Stone Edge
    Nature: Sassy/Careful
    EVs: 252 HP/4 Atk/252 SDef
    Item: Leftovers
    Ability: Sand Stream

    If Excadrill is used in a sandstorm team, it must always use Sand Rush. Mold Breaker doesn't cut it and is preferred outside of Sand teams. Also, Excadrill is an Uber, which means it doesn't see use in OU. Jirachi can help check Ice Pokemon alongside Heatran:
    -Iron Head
    -Body Slam/Thunder Wave
    -Wish
    -Fire Punch/Protect/Stealth Rock
    Nature: Careful
    EVs: 252 HP/224 Def/32 Spe
    Item: Leftovers

    or
    -Iron Head
    -Fire Punch
    -Ice Punch
    -Trick/U-turn/ThunderPunch
    Nature: Jolly
    EVs: 252 Atk/4 SAtk/252 Spe
    Item: Choice Scarf

    or
    -Substitute
    -Thunder Wave/Body Slam
    -Iron Head
    -Fire Punch
    Nature: Jolly
    EVs: 80 HP/252 Atk/176 Spe
    Item: Leftovers

    or
    -Iron Head
    -Fire Punch
    -Thunderbolt
    -Hidden Power (Ice)
    Nature: Naive
    EVs: 152 Atk/204 SAtk/152 Spe
    Item: Expert Belt
