The supplied strategy presents Tyranitar as a Sandstorm setter that can pressure opponents over time. Don’t lead with it if you expect a Fighting-type attack that could knock it out before it helps your team.
When to use Tyranitar
According to the draft, Tyranitar triggers Sandstorm when it enters battle. That can change the weather immediately, including when an opponent has set another weather condition. The draft also says Sandstorm can chip away at some opposing Pokémon and boost Tyranitar’s Special Defense.
These details describe a possible role, not a verified recommendation for every team or battle in Pokémon Champions. The supplied material doesn’t give a team build, move set, or conditions for when Sandstorm pressure outweighs its drawbacks.
Check for Fighting-type threats before leading
The draft identifies Fighting-type attacks as a major risk for Tyranitar. If you see a likely Fighting-type threat, consider keeping Tyranitar off the lead so it isn’t knocked out before it can contribute. It suggests using a Flying- or Fairy-type teammate as a switch-in, but provides no specific Pokémon or matchup details.
Treat the rest of the draft’s tactical claims—such as forcing switches, breaking Focus Sash, and cleaning up late—as unconfirmed. The supplied material does not establish when those outcomes occur or which team conditions make them reliable.

This helped me understand strategy much better.
The explanation is clear, especially for beginners.
Nice guide. I am checking the other Pokémon Champions articles next.
