Just don't evolve anything you don't need at the moment. Tyranitar isn't that useful outside of some specific raids so unless you struggle with reward balls, don't have a lot of people to raid with, dont have any good tyranitar already, or you like to solo things, I'd just wait and see. I had that very same problem as soon as was dratini c-day was over but I figured out this was the best solution overall, especially if you're lvl 40 and don't need to mass evolve things anymore.
If you do need a good tyranitar in your team NOW, don't sweat it and evolve it.
Anyone else a little annoyed with the whole community day thing?
Don't get me wrong, I love the community days themselves, it's just the whole "what if this Pokemon gets a future community day" situation. I wasn't worrying about it too much before now, because I just caught a very high IV Larvitar that I was planning on evolving during my next evolving storm, but then I remembered, what if Larvitar gets a future community day? Sure Larvitar may not be as likely since Tyranitar is a raid boss, it still is a decent possibility. I was really excited to get my first Tyranitar, but now I'm torn between decisions. Anyone else having these problems.

I absolutely hate that they don't let us TM for the exclusive move. I'm going to be out there grinding like mad every CD because the bonuses are so good and I like shinies and feel like I'm just getting unjustly punished for evolving copies of that pokemon before the event. So yeah I'm with you, a little annoyed. Still love the actual events every time they come around.
I don't think the restriction to evolve is even particularly impactful in making people get out, the bonuses being limited to catching/walking only and the shinies are what do that.
I understand what you are saying to a certain point but pokemon go is still a game. What is wrong with having a Bite/Crunch 100% Tyranitar? Looking at the past community days the only good move released was FP on Venasaur and though it is better than SoB, a high level SoB Venasaur is still not useless and one of the best grass attackers in the game.
Surf Pickachu is not worth discussing.
DM Dragonite is not as powerful as OR and made Salamence even less desirable.
Venasaur was already discussed.
Ampharos with DP is useless.
So the only mon where it made a difference was a starter where people were crying for ages to make them relevant somehow and that´s what Niantic did! We all hope that Charmander cummunity day and Squirtle will go in similar directions, but I think a Larvitar day (if it ever happens) will go like Dratini and even if it doesn´t and it somehow gets a better move, B/C is still very good. Be happy with it and catch a good IV one during the 3 hour community day and evolve it and you will have two beasts with one being in your memory related strictly to a fun day with your pokemon go community.
I have 5 FP Venusaurs at levels 32-35 that are all better than my maxed perfect SoB Venusaur. The only reason I'd use the SoB Venu is if I was completely out of revives, so it is in fact pretty much useless now.
I have no problem with the exclusive moves as long as they aren't better than what the mon already had, but that fear of another FP happening is real.
What level is your Larvitar? If he's already lvl 30+, having a B/C Ttar on your team can save your hide in many situations like Confusion Jynx and Sludge Bomb Gengar without any investment.
I wouldn't stress out about Community Day. Just make sure you have plenty of Pinaps. No one knows who the next CD star will be other than Niantic. Larvitar might be soon, months away or never.
The better question is what moves could Tyranitar actually learn that would put him on another level than he already is? Off the top of my head I can only think of Dark Pulse, Dragon Pulse, or maybe even something like outrage I guess?
Outside of that I think if you have the candy to get him then go for it. If Larvitar is on a community day then it shouldn’t be too hard to get enough candy to get another one, even as casual as I play compared to others I managed to get about 400 candies for the last two.
I personally advise to keep the Larvitar for the time being. The pattern of community days has been this so far: Starter (Pika), 10km rare (Dratini), Starter (Bulba), 10km rare (Mareep), Starter (Char). In my opinion Larvitar has a very good chance of being in the future pool of community day mons. For every community day I never caught a 90%+ IV mon during the 3 hours I venture out. If you care about IVs, keep that Larvitar. When the Charmander day was announced, I went crazy looking for a good IV Charmander to save for the day. I luckily caught a 96% Charmeleon with 15atk and 15def. There's always a chance of catching/hatching another good IV Larvitar in the future! Better to save now than regret it later ;)
