So what are the big threats in the format going into States? You have Lostgar, Vilegar, Gyarados, LuxChomp, DialgaChomp, Sablelock, and Machamp.
Lostgar and Vilegar are both easily handled by either a Sableye donk, or consistent and effective damage from Tyranitar. The low and managable amount of Pokemon in the deck allow for the user to aviod having much sent to the Lost Zone.
Gyarados can be handled by a couple of early which can allow for an early KO on the first Gyarados, as well as some late game KO's one Uxie and Mesprit that fill the bench, however I will admit that Gyarados is one of the more difficult matches.
LuxChomp loses to Tyranitar if they cannot get an early game lead, if you can get two Tyranitars out then you can slowly spread until they burn all of their Poketurn, from there the win should be simple. Also Tyranitar can hit the magic 120 which gets the OHKO on both Luxray and Garchomp.
DialgaChomp is another difficult match for the deck, but the damage is relatively even, and Tyranitar can handle a lot of damage from either of the attackers, while Tyranitar can swing for 120, KOing Garchomp, and even an ill-prepared Dialga. Otherwise Dialga is a simple 2HKO for Tyranitar.
Sablelock has always had trouble against simple and consistent decks with a simple form of draw/setup. Another Sableye can hinder the overall strategy of Sablelock. Tyranitar will have trouble setting up quickly, but once readied, Tyranitar will swing through the opposing field easily.
Machamp is the only common deck that hits Tyranitar's weakness. It takes either Machamp Lv.X or Machamp Prime (or a lot of energy/heads on coin flips by the regular Machamp) to KO a Tyranitar. Two spreads makes the entirety of the Machamp decklist able to be KO'd by Uxie Lv.X, and the energy exchange will eventually favor Tyranitar, who only needs a couple of energy to spread through the rest of Machamps field.
