Metagross can get hit by earth power of flamethrower, and tyranitar can also get hurt by earth power.
However, since Sandstream makes the special defense raise up like crazy (I forgot the %) and that he has a freaking 100 based special defense and 110 defense... Add in Rhyperior into your team with the ability to weaken super effective attacks against him as well as his high defense, you pretty much killed a lead Gyarados, and possibly wear down the bulky water pokemon or those special attackers, like Starmie, until they hit the red or yellow zone.
BTW, this is why I like my Swampert so much.
