Tyranitar breakpoints
So I know that for Bite the breakpoint is pretty low. But what about his charge moves Crunch and Stonedge? What are the relevant breakpoints for those attacks in the most relevant matchups (psychic and normal)? I want to change one of my 4 Tyranitar from SE to Crunch so that I have two of each. The question is wheather I change one at lvl 35,5 or one at 31,5? Thanks!

"So I know that for Bite the breakpoint is pretty low."
Depends entirely on the defending pokemon. Against Entei it's at L40 at 15 attack. That's pretty high. Breakpoints are not universal but depend on the defending pokemon's defence stat.
As a rule of thumb, charge moves don't have breakpoints or they have too many of them for any single one to matter. Against most opponents their damage increases with nearly every level up -> no breakpoint, just continuous upgrading with levels.
SE from the 35,5 will deal 2 more damage to a perfect L40 Blissey than SE from the 31,5, for example.
