2nd Gen Critisize my Tyranitar Moveset?

[Molasses]

here me tyranitar's moves:

Hyper Beam
Earthquake
Crunch
Rock slide

so, recently from doing lots o research, I found out Hyper Beam is a pretty bad move, and so I might buy Fire Blast at the Goldenrod Game Corner, and swap em out.

I was also thinking of changing rock slide with that electric move that the move tutor can teach you...

thots on a better moveset, or what I'm about to change?

I beleive, replacing your hyper beam with fire blast could be a good idea, but i prefer flamethrower. And what do you say, replacing crunch with either dragon pulse or dark pulse(if you prefer the dark type). And teaching it an electric type move would be good, since it could help against your watery foes.

Are you playing on Crystal version? I'm guessing yes since you mentioned the move tutor. I don't totally know how the tutor works in Crystal, but if Tyranitar can learn Thunderbolt, Ice Beam, or Flamethrower from him then any of those would be good picks to replace Hyper Beam.

I would go for Flamethrower over Fire Blast. Heck, I might even go for Fire Punch over Fire Blast due to the higher PP and accuracy, and since Tyranitar's attack stat is his highest.

Another good option to replace Hyper Beam would be Iron Tail which has a power of 100 and would leverage that high attack stat.

Hyper Beam definitely needs to go and I'd recommend Thunder/Thunderbolt or Fire Blast/Flamethrower for coverage. Iron Tail is also a good option to go with, especially with Tyranitar's physical power.

Your other moves are good, I think. Standard Tyranitar set, at least for me. And since I assume this is in-game, you shouldn't have to worry about any fancy footwork or status moves.
