Not as tough as Mollesk defensively though. :3

Good thing about Tyranitar being on the field though? Sandstorm boosts Special Defence of Rock pokemon by 50%. Mollesk is a rock type with the highest caliber in special defense and that's before the tripling of Special Defense with Cosmic Power. ^^

Even more so, that boost does not comply with stage based buffs and can stack. So Mollesk would have more than 999 Special Defense.

From Bulbapedia:

In-battle stat modifiers multiply specific stats by a certain amount, meaning that a higher starting stat will have a bigger change. For each stat, there are six stages of increase, and six stages of decrease. The stages are cumulative: adding a stage of increase, and then a stage of decrease, results in no net change to the stat. The six stages of increase are x1.5, x2.0, x2.5, x3.0, x3.5, and x4.0. The six stages of decrease are 2/3, 1/2, 2/5, 1/3, 2/7, and 1/4. Accuracy and Evasion modifications are calculated in a different manner.

Some modifiers, such as Huge Power and Pure Power, do not work with the above stages, and thus can stack on top of them. For example, a Pokémon with Pure Power and six stages of increase in Attack would have eight times its normal attack.

In Generation IV, during a Sandstorm, all Rock-type Pokémon gain 50% Special Defense, which does not work with stages.
So basically, take Mollesk's special defense (higher than 230 due to higher levels) multiply it by 3, then take 50% of that and stack that on top. ^^
