Because you asked :^)
Ideal trio SD Tyranitar: L40, 15/15/15 IVs, Great Friends, no weather boost, 100 sims each averaged via GoBattleSim:
VS ES/BB Ho-Oh:
Win %: 100%
Avg. Time: 215.63s
Avg. Death: 14.01
Avg Rejoin: 0 times
VS SW/SB Ho-Oh:
Win %: 100%
Avg. Time: 242.56s
Avg. Death: 33.43
Avg Rejoin: 1.2 times
Other move combos likely fall in between these two.
Under ideal conditions it appears to be a relative cakewalk. High attack IV is important here, at great friends Tyranitar needs 13a or higher to reach the last SD breakpoint. I'm sure difficulty will go up much more the less Tyranitar gets used.
On another note, this is a good weekend to give the A-Golems a spin, assuming one can justify the dust cost. They resist Brave Bird more than K-Golem and aren't doubly weak to Solar Beam.
