Pokedex Entry

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.

Nothing could stop this Pokémon 100 million years ago, so it behaved like a king.

Tyrantrum Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Guide

  • In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, 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 Choice Scarf is the standard set.

  • In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, 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.

  • In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, run Head Smash, Earthquake, Outrage, and Dragonclaw on Tyrantrum. Head Smash is the most common pick at 0% usage. Outrage provides reliable STAB damage.

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.
