Strategy Overview
Tyrunt's high base Attack stat and solid base Defense stat make it a flexible Pokemon capable of performing offensive roles. Its STAB combination is not resisted by much in the tier other than the common Steel-types, and its great movepool gives it access to many coverage moves that hit specific threats. Tyrunt's typing enables it to check many Flying-type threats as well as some Fire-types. Furthermore, Tyrunt is able to have Sturdy, which works well in tandem with Berry Juice. Tyrunt's access to Dragon Dance allows it to be a formidable sweeper, and it can set up much more easily than other Dragon Dance sweepers. Unfortunately, its typing makes it vulnerable to the common Fighting-, Ground-, Ice-, and Steel-types in the tier. Tyrunt is also weak to common priority moves like Mach Punch and Vacuum Wave. Furthermore, its relatively low Speed stat means that it is outsped by many Choice Scarf users after a Dragon Dance boost, such as Mienfoo and Pawniard. Its low Special Defense can further hamper its sweeps from time to time. Tyrunt's lack of reliable recovery outside of Berry Juice makes it easily worn down. Tyrunt also faces competition from Sturdy Shell Smash users like Tirtouga and Dwebble, which can set up similarly easily but usually only need one boost to sweep.
