What is Tyrunt weak to?

In Legends: Z-A, Tyrunt's biggest threats include Cloyster (Ice), Blaziken (Fighting), and Swampert (Ground), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Dragon, Steel, and Fairy-type attackers are also a problem. With 6 weakness types, most competitive teams carry at least one counter.

What is the best ability for Tyrunt?

In Legends: Z-A, 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.

What role does Tyrunt play in battle?

In Legends: Z-A, 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.

Legends: Z-A Tyrunt Best Moveset

The 50% bulk from Eviolite is no joke. Tyrunt takes hits that fully evolved Pokemon can't, especially with max HP and Attack EVs pushing the physical side. Dragontail gives it offensive presence.

The TM pool is where it gets interesting. Coverage across 11 types means almost nothing walls Tyrunt cleanly, with Draco Meteor and Meteor Beam anchoring the STAB side. Matchup flexibility isn't a problem.
