Thanks to its gargantuan jaws, which could shred thick metal plates as if they were paper, it was invincible in the ancient world it once inhabited.

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.

X & Y Tyrantrum Best Moveset

Prediction matters here. Choice Scarf means Tyrantrum can't change moves after clicking, but the payoff is speed patching through item lock. Max Attack and Speed EVs with Rockhead back that up. Ground coverage prevents free switches.

Moves

Don't skip the egg moves. Tyrantrum picks up Curse and Dragon Dance only through breeding, and both fill gaps the natural movepool can't. STAB runs through Head Smash and Draco Meteor while coverage across 9 types adds range.

How to Get Tyrantrum in X & Y

Can't catch Tyrantrum directly. Start with Tyrunt but it's a rare spawn from the locations below, then evolve at level 39. The 2-stage line from Tyrunt to Tyrantrum is where the leveling time goes.

Tyrantrum Guide

  • In X & Y, 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 Scarf is the standard set.

  • In X & Y, watch for Walrein (Ice), Lucario (Fighting), and Garchomp (Ground) when using Tyrantrum. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Dragon, Steel, and Fairy-type attackers are also a problem. With 6 weakness types, most competitive teams carry at least one counter.

  • 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 X & Y, 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

Tyrantrum joined the series in X & Y and has been available in 6 titles so far. With 5 generations of appearances, it's established itself despite the later start.
