Tyrantrum Sword & Shield Guide
In Sword & Shield, Strong Jaw changes the entire equation for Tyrantrum. The 521 BST doesn't tell the full story. Ranked B-Tier as a wallbreaker. Head Smash with Weakness Policy 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.
In Sword & Shield, run Head Smash, Dragon Dance, Dragonclaw, and Close Combat on Tyrantrum. Head Smash is the most common pick at 0% usage. This set covers the wallbreaker role with a mix of damage and utility.
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.
