Strategy Overview

Tyrunt's unique Rock / Dragon typing makes it an interesting choice in Little Cup. It has the right tools and stats to be an annoyance to the opposing team or a dangerous sweeper with access to Dragon Dance and powerful STAB moves. Additionally, its ability Sturdy is particularly useful in Little Cup in tandem with Berry Juice. Tyrunt also counters some of Little Cup's most dangerous Pokemon in Flying-types. Sadly, common types such as Ground, Fighting, and Fairy pose a major hindrance to Tyrunt. Also, Tyrunt faces competition as a Stealth Rock setter from Archen and defensive Tirtouga, whereas Shell Smash users such as Tirtouga normally outclass it as a sweeper. However, Tyrunt's great movepool and typing allow it to be a threat when given the right support, and it notably has access to many coverage moves such as Iron Tail and Superpower to deal with its own checks or open holes in the opposing team for other sweepers.
