Cutting the tail of Guardian Rathalos is recommended as it gives you an extra carve.

Tails can only be cut by weapons that deal severing or cutting damage. Try to use Shock Traps to hold a monster in place, coupled with the Partbreaker skill to cut the tail quickly.

Be mindful not to kill the monster before cutting its tail. Otherwise, you'll miss out on the extra carve!
