Pokedex Entry

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 Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Guide

  • In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, 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 Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, 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.

  • Revive from a fossil at the Devon Corporation in Rustboro City. Fossils found by Rock Smash in Mirage Spots.. Tyrunt is revived at level 5. Give it Rare Candies or experience-share if you want it ready for the late-game.

  • In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, 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 Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, 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.
