Stats & Training
Tyrunt's spread isn't flashy. Attack leads, Sp. Atk trails, 1 stats clear the bar. Tough to catch and worth 1 Attack EV, on a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
This Pokémon was restored from a fossil. If something happens that it doesn’t like, it throws a tantrum and runs wild.
Its immense jaws have enough destructive force that it can chew up an automobile. It lived 100 million years ago.

Best Locations to Catch Tyrunt in X & Y
Tyrunt Guide
In X & Y, Tyrunt isn't fully evolved, so it's not built for competitive play. You'll want to evolve it into Tyrantrum to unlock its full potential. At 362 BST, it's a stepping stone rather than a team anchor.
In X & Y, Run Strong Jaw on Tyrunt. It's the ability that defines how you build around it and the main reason it holds a competitive niche. Tyrunt also gets Sturdy, but they don't compare.
In X & Y, Tyrunt fills the balanced role. It's a physical attacker with base 89 Attack. Base 48 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go.
In X & Y, Tyrunt does the job early-game if you need a Rock/Dragon type on your team. Evolve it into Tyrantrum before the later gyms and it holds up fine through the story.
Game Availability
Introduced in X & Y, Tyrunt has appeared in 6 games across 5 generations. Later debuts mean fewer total appearances, but it's been a consistent presence since its introduction.
