Overview
########
  • Dragon / Rock unique typing.
  • High attack, decent bulk.
Stealth Rock
########
name: Stealth Rock
move 1: Stealth Rock
move 2: Dragon Tail
move 3: Fire Fang / Brick Break
move 4: Stone Edge / Rock Tomb
ability: Strong Jaw
item: Berry Juice
evs: 52 HP / 124 Atk / 220 Def / 76 SpD
nature: Adamant

Moves
========
  • Stealth Rock is Tyrunt's main utility move.
  • Dragon Tail coming off 18 Attack hits quite hard and forces switches, spreading hazard damage.
  • Fire Fang hits hard with Strong Jaw and nails Steel-types.
  • Brick Break can be used to hit Pawniard harder.
  • Stone Edge can be used for power, Rock Tomb for added utility of lowering Speed.
Set Details
========
  • EVs keep Tyrunt's Attack high while maintaining good bulk, specifically to tank Brave Birds and Acrobatics.
  • Eviolite can be used effectively with slightly altered EVs (to get even defensive stat numbers) if used in conjunction with a Wish user.
Usage Tips
========

  • Tyrunt is a very physically bulky Pokemon, it should be used as a wall for Normal or Flying-types and take that opportunity to set up Stealth Rock or use Dragon Tail if it's already up.
  • Since Tyrunt has no reliable recovery of its own, Berry Juice or Wish are needed to give it longevity.
Team Options
========

  • Wish Spritzee is the obvious partner with Tyrunt. It can switch into Fighting-type attacks and keep Tyrunt alive with Wish. Tyrunt can also tank Poison-type attacks aimed at Spritzee.
  • Magnemite, Honedge, and Ferroseed are also quite useful as teammates since they can tank Steel- and Fairy-type attacks.
Dragon Dance
########
name: Dragon Dance
move 1: Dragon Dance
move 2: Dragon Claw
move 3: Fire Fang / Brick Break
move 4: Stone Edge
ability: Strong Jaw
item: Eviolite / Berry Juice
evs: 52 HP / 124 Atk / 76 SpD / 212 Spe
nature: Adamant

Moves
========
  • Tyrunt's access to Dragon Dance with 14 Speed lets it outpace the unboosted metagame after a Dragon Dance.
  • Dragon Claw is Tyrunt's main STAB attack.
  • Fire Fang hits almost as hard as Dragon Claw with Strong Jaw and nails Steel-types.
  • Brick Break hits Pawniard harder.
  • Stone Edge is the most powerful attack in Tyrunt's arsenal, but its accuracy makes it generally a secondary choice.
Set Details
========
  • EVs keep Tyrunt's Attack high while maintaining good bulk.
  • 212 EVs lets Tyrunt hit 14 Speed.
  • Eviolite and Berry Juice are personal preference. Eviolite lets Tyrunt survive a Moonblast from Spritzee while Berry Juice works better while trying to survive the onslaught of Fake Out, Bullet Punch, Mach Punch, or Gale Wings users.


Usage Tips
========

  • Tyrunt is a very physically bulky Pokemon, it should be used as a wall for Normal or Flying-types and take that opportunity to set up Dragon Dance.
  • It is useful to wait until its counters are Knocked Off or weakened, then Dragon Dance to get the additional power and Speed to sleep.
Team Options
========

  • Wynaut can be useful for getting rid of Meditite and Timburr.
  • Scraggy, Mienfoo, and Timburr can be useful for luring in Spritzee and hitting it with Knock Off or Poison Jab.
Other Options
########

  • Rest + Sleep Talk is a viable option.
  • Curse and Dragon Tail can be used as well.
  • Choice Scarf is a good revenge killer, but it lacks the sweeping power due to lacking Outrage.
Checks & Counters
########
  • *Fairy-types*: Sprtizee and Snubbull.
  • *Fighting-types*: physically bulky and Fighting-type hits harder.
