Breloom gets KOed by Fire Punch, which is standard on DD Ttar. So is Scizor. Salamence gets KOed by +1 Stone Edge anyway, and so does Dragonite. Flygon outspeeds with Choice Scarf and does 75% to it, meaning that Ttar will be severely weakened. In order to beat Scarf Flygon, you'd have to Dragon Dance 3 times, which only stupid people will let you do. Meanwhile, only +2 Ttar can 2HKO Hippowdon with Ice Punch, while it 2HKOes you back with Earthquake (if it switches in on the first Dragon Dance or if it comes in while you have 1 Dragon Dance, it beats you.)Tyranitar @ Barbiri Berry

Basic DD Tyranitar with a catch; it's specifically made to take out a ****load of T-Tar counters such as Gliscor, Breloom, and Scizor (Babiri Berry to weaken Bullet Punch). With the uncommon Ice punch on T-Tar, I'm also able to keep Salamance, Dragonite, and Flygon in check. I can also 2HKO bulky ground types such as Hippowdon. EQ is to keep steels and Electrics in check.
So the idea is to switch in on a Pokemon that fears T-Tar (like Latias) to hopefully force a switch so you can get a DD in. If everything goes to plan, your opponent should send out one of the above-mentioned Pokemon which should give you a free kill (as long as none of them are scarfed!), or maybe even a sweep if you're opponent simply has the wrong Pokemon on his/her team.
In other words, the only thing this set helps out against is Gliscor, which Ttar 2OHKOes after 1 DD with Crunch.
