Stats & Training
Attack and Defense carry most of Tyrantrum's stat budget. Sp. Def's the obvious dump stat. Tough to catch and yields 2 Attack EVs. Follows a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
Complete restoration is impossible, allowing room for theories that its entire body was once covered in a feather-like coat.
The king of the ancient world, it can easily crunch a car with the devastating strength of its enormous jaws.
Tyrantrum Weakness
Ice, Fighting, Ground, Dragon, Steel, and Fairy moves hit Tyrantrum for super-effective damage. 5 resistances help offset the weaknesses. Tyrantrum's physical bulk (base 119 Def) helps cushion physical weakness hits, but special attackers are the bigger threat.

Tyrantrum Guide
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Strong Jaw changes the entire equation for Tyrantrum. The 521 BST doesn't tell the full story. Ranked C-Tier as a wallbreaker. Head Smash with Choice Band is the standard set.
Strong Jaw is what you want on Tyrantrum. Every competitive set worth running is built with that ability in mind. The alternatives (Rock Head) work on paper but Strong Jaw is what makes Tyrantrum worth using. On wall sets, Strong Jaw pairs with Tyrantrum's base 119 Defense to absorb physical hits on the switch.
Base 71 Speed is workable. Faster than some, slower than many. On offense, Tyrantrum is a physical attacker with base 121 Attack. Defensively? Enough bulk to take a hit or two. Best used as a wallbreaker.
For Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Tyrantrum has answers, but so do you. Status moves (Toxic, Will-O-Wisp) wear it down. Setup sweepers can use it as a boost opportunity. Special attackers bypass its physical bulk.
Game Availability
