So, first off, I am wondering what your opinions are on Zapdos and Raikou as to who's the better electric pokemon (well, actually, the best).

And after that, I am wondering what your opinions are on them vs Tyranitar.

For competitive play.

Against tyranitar... Thats tough, Raikou gets hit by earthquake and Zapdos by rock slide
I'd say zapdos is better against him, since it has higher Sp. Attack and Rock slide has less accurracy

Now, against each other, raikou would probably win, since zapdos part flying-type doesnt help ihm very much in this battle.

It's kind of hard to say who's the best Electric-Type of the two. They have similar stats and similar move sets (I think most people use a Rest/Sleep Talk set on both of them), so it's tough to say. I think Zapdos has a bit of an advantage because its typing makes it immune to Ground-Type attacks which, considering how many pokemon can learn Earthquake, can be very helpful, so I suppose Zapdos would be the better of the two.

As for the Zapdos and Raikou vs. Tyranitar, obviously Tyranitar will win in this situation; it has Earthquake to deal with Raikou and Rock Slide to deal with Zapdos. It would be no contest.

Oh, ok haha. Well, in that case, I would use Tyranitar over the other two, it has the better stats and move options by far.

Zapdos has tremendous typing, which includes resistances or immunities to the most common moves of top-tier OU threats such as Scizor.l. Zapdos can also try its hand at countering Gyarados with a bunch of defensive investment, and in the meantime take on some other annoying physical hard-hitters, though it must be wary of Stone Edge or a boosted Ice Fang.
Raikou is fairly sturdy for a Pokémon as quick and powerful as it is, and while its movepool is subpar it does have the key moves with Hidden Power and Calm Mind that it needs to be successful. Raikou was a large part of the reason why teams felt the need to carry Blissey in Advance,

Raikou is by far the better electric pokemon and Tyranitar ahs complete advantage over them both.
