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.
Tyrunt X & Y 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.
Revive from fossil at the Ambrette Town Fossil Lab. Tyrunt is revived at level 5. Give it Rare Candies or experience-share if you want it ready for the late-game.
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 mixed attacker with base 89 Attack and 45 Sp. Atk. Base 48 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go.
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.
