Should I TM one of my ttars?

Thanks to this recent Saturday I was able to evolve 3 Tyranitars in an area where Larvitars are very rare. All of the Tyranitars I evolved have Smack Down and Stone edge. Since my best dark attacker is an 84% houndoom with snarl/crunch, I was wondering if it’s worth it to TM one of my Tyranitars in efforts to get Bite and crunch. Thanks in advance :)

Keep them as double rock. If you continue to play and even walk larvitar as a buddy you'll gain enough candy for another Tyranitar. Maybe you see a Tyranitar raid and others show up for it since they likely also need extra larvitar candy to power their new ones.

Maybe you hatch a larvitar in a double candy egg event, you likely have a pantry full of 2k egg...maybe they get replaced with 5-9 10k eggs

Keep as double rock. Just work eggs. My area is an ultra rare larvitar area and with buddying and hatching I was able to evolve 3 Ttar before the event and 2 during. Honestly you jist need some hatching luck, especially during double candy events.

With Smack Down being exclusive/legacy (however you want to look at it) I'd rather wait it out until you get another Tyranitar.

Yes, agree with above. As far as we know, you can never get Smack Down back, and if you can ever get it again, it will be some time in the future.

Hopefully, you caught a few more good Larvitars, and saved some candy after the event. Use that candy to evolve a Ttar, or do some raids to get a fully evolved one with decent IVs, and TM (if needed) to the double Dark moveset.

Unless you absolutely need the double dark ttar (if you got an ex raid pass and had limited numbers), it will likely be more difficult for you going forward to get a double rock ttar than a double dark, so keep what you have. My question is, did you catch higher IV larvitars than the two 73% shinies you evolved? If so, those or any eggs you hatch would be your crunch targets

Sadly I didn’t get any larvitars with higher IV’s. During community day I usually have bad luck with IV’s. Thanks for your response. And yeah I’ll try to hatch more 10K’s
