If you could only have 1 Tyranitar...
Would you want one that is awesome at Attacking or a defensive gym beast?
Answers
Imo there are only two decent defenders; blissey and snorlax.
There are plenty of good attackers (dragonite, tyranitar, alakazam, arcanine, Rhydon etc). I dont use Snorlax or blissey as an attacker since it is simply better to tie them up to gyms.
Same with Alakazam, you can use it as an defender but its way more useful to not tie it up to a gym an use it as an attacker.
Certain pokemons have certain functions. Defenders are not that many and is wasted beeing used as attackers.
An easy question to answer - I would want one awesome at attacking. Why? Because then I can battle with it. A defender? Story is always the same. You stick it in a gym, somebody else gets to fight it, and you get it back dead. What fun is that? Having a good defender is just a way to gather coins and dust, but not have much fun.
I value offensive > defensive movesets; any fighting mon is going to rough up Tyranitar, the moveset will not make a substantial difference when tyranitar is eating 1.95x damage from a STAB fighting attack. An offensive tyranitar will also sit higher than other mons in a gym, therefore adding defensive value in any offensive set
