Moveset e set competitivi di Tyrunt

Moves Dragon Dance enables Tyrunt to outspeed the entire unboosted metagame after a boost while increasing its Attack. Stone Edge is a powerful STAB move that dents anything that doesn't resist it. Rock Slide trades firepower for consistency and is a decently powerful STAB move that hits Flying- and Fire-types for super effective damage, but it is usually much weaker than Stone Edge and as such doesn't deal with bulkier foes as reliably. Outrage is the strongest STAB option Tyrunt gets and can sweep weakened teams after a Dragon Dance boost due to its great neutral coverage. Earthquake gives Tyrunt perfect coverage in tandem with its STAB combination, and it allows Tyrunt to threaten the common Steel-types in the tier, such as Pawniard and Magnemite. Superpower is an alternative that gives Tyrunt a way to deal with Steel-types that take neutral damage from Earthquake, such as Ferroseed, but it has the downside of lowering Tyrunt's Attack. Dragon Claw can be used instead of Outrage in order to not lock Tyrunt into the same move, but it is weaker than Outrage and is not that threatening even after a boost. Iron Head or Iron Tail can be used to hit Fairy-types such as Snubbull and Cottonee. Set Details The given EV spread along with a Jolly nature maximizes Tyrunt's Attack while enabling it to reach 15 Speed, allowing it to outspeed Pokemon such as pivot Vullaby and defensive Chinchou before a Dragon Dance and everything up to and including base 14 Speed Choice Scarf users, such as Modest Magnemite, at +1. The remaining EVs are placed into Special Defense to slightly increase Tyrunt's special bulk. Sturdy is very useful, as it allows Tyrunt to survive at least one hit if at full health, guaranteeing a chance to use Dragon Dance. Berry Juice works well in combination with Sturdy, healing Tyrunt back to full HP and re-activating Sturdy. Running 23 HP IVs enables Tyrunt to reach 21 HP, which allows it to completely heal after Berry Juice activates and thus regain Sturdy. Usage Tips Tyrunt should be used as a late-game sweeper when its checks have been weakened or removed, such as bulky Fighting-types and Steel-types like Ferroseed. Tyrunt can also be used to wallbreak early-game to punch holes for another sweeper, provided that Tyrunt is not favorable to sweep the opposing team. It is best to not switch Tyrunt directly into an attack, as Sturdy being broken really reduces its longevity. Similarly, entry hazards should be removed before attempting to sweep in order to keep Sturdy intact. It is best to send Tyrunt in after a teammate has been KOed or through a slow U-turn or Volt Switch. Tyrunt should not set up until its checks have been weakened or eliminated in order to get the best chance of sweeping. If all priority users have been KOed and Sturdy is intact, Tyrunt can opt to set up two Dragon Dances due to Sturdy and Berry Juice, becoming incredibly powerful and outspeeding most Choice Scarf users. Set up appropriately if Tyrunt is carrying a specific coverage move over another; for example, if Tyrunt is running Fire Fang or Superpower, it can set up if an opposing Ferroseed is present. If Sturdy is intact, Tyrunt can even set up on Pokemon that hit it for super effective damage, such as Timburr and Mienfoo. Tyrunt must be careful of being hit by a status move, as status will cripple Tyrunt's longevity or sweeping potential. When sweeping, Outrage should only be used once all Fairy- and Steel-types have fainted. Team Options Tyrunt appreciates Pokemon that can check the Fighting-types that threaten it, such as Snubbull and Foongus. Steel-types such as Magnemite and Pawniard can get rid of the Fairy-types that trouble Tyrunt. Pokemon such as Snivy, Vullaby, and Staryu can handle the threatening Ground-type attackers for Tyrunt. Fighting- and Ground-type Pokemon, such as Mienfoo and Mudbray, can threaten Steel-types for Tyrunt, particularly Pawniard and Magnemite. In turn, Tyrunt can check and threaten the Flying-types that trouble them. Fire-types like Ponyta and Larvesta are able to eliminate Ferroseed, which walls Tyrunt completely if it is not carrying Fire Fang or Superpower, and they can also remove other Steel-types and resist the Ice- and Fairy-type attacks that threaten Tyrunt. Powerful wallbreakers like Doduo and Corphish can weaken an opposing team to make it easier for Tyrunt to sweep late-game. Diglett is able to trap and KO Steel-types, making it easier for Tyrunt to sweep, while Memento support from the likes of Cottonee and Diglett provides Tyrunt with a reliable setup opportunity. Entry hazard support from the likes of Onix and Ferroseed can aid Tyrunt when sweeping. Pokemon that remove entry hazards, such as Drilbur and Staryu, allow Tyrunt to switch in without its Sturdy being broken by hazards. U-turn and Volt Switch support grants Tyrunt safe switches, so Pokemon like Mienfoo and Magnemite make good teammates.

Moves Thanks to its typing and ability, Tyrunt is a good setter of Stealth Rock. Dragon Tail is a STAB move used to punish switch-ins; it works especially well with Stealth Rock to get chip damage on whatever Pokemon is sent in. Stone Edge is one of Tyrunt's strongest STAB moves; alternatively, Rock Tomb provides a useful Speed drop, so it might be a reliable alternative in some cases. Rock Slide can also be used for more accuracy and a 30% flinch chance. Earthquake provides coverage against Steel-types and Croagunk, whereas Brick Break can be used to deal with Pawniard. Fire Fang can be used to hit Ferroseed super effectively, while Zen Headbutt can be used to weaken Fighting-types. Set Details The given EV spread alongside a Jolly nature provides 12 Speed, which is helpful to outpace Pokemon with 17 Speed, such as Mienfoo and Drilbur, after Rock Tomb. The remaining EVs are put into HP, Special Defense, and Defense to maximize Tyrunt's bulk. Sturdy allows Tyrunt to survive any hit if it is at full health, ensuring Stealth Rock will be on the opposing side of the field. Strong Jaw is a good alternative as well if used in conjunction with Fire Fang. Berry Juice works well in tandem with Sturdy, as it restores 20 HP after Tyrunt is heavily damaged, thus restoring Sturdy. For this purpose, Tyrunt's HP IVs are lowered to 23 in order to get exactly 21 HP. Eviolite can be used to better check Flying-types such as Fletchling and Doduo and other attackers such as Aipom; in this case you don't need to lower Tyrunt's HP IVs. A faster EV spread of 204 Atk / 76 SpD / 212 Spe alongside a Jolly nature can be used as well if you prefer investing into Speed rather than bulk. Usage Tips Tyrunt has very high physical bulk, so it should be used to wall Normal- or Flying-types and take that opportunity to set up Stealth Rock or shuffle the opposing team with Dragon Tail if it's already up. Tyrunt can be used as a lead thanks to its Sturdy + Berry Juice combination, although it must be wary of opposing leads, such as Mold Breaker Drilbur, that can easily beat it. Tyrunt lacks a reliable form of recovery, except for the single-use Berry Juice, so it should be played carefully in case it needs to switch in multiple times throughout the match to keep Stealth Rock up. Try to keep Tyrunt free from status ailments because they would further hinder its longevity. Team Options Spritzee is the obvious partner for bulky Tyrunt, as it can switch into Fighting-type attacks and Knock Off, keep Tyrunt alive with Wish throughout the match, and eliminate status thanks to Aromatherapy. Tyrunt also resists Poison-type attacks aimed at Spritzee; however, they both need to be wary of Steel-types. Magnemite and Ferroseed can tank the Steel- and Fairy-type attacks aimed at Tyrunt, while Tyrunt can absorb Fire-type attacks for them. Pawniard can deter Defoggers from removing entry hazards. Pumpkaboo-XL is immune to Fighting-type moves and resist Ground-type moves while also being able to spinblock and keep Stealth Rock up against Drilbur and Staryu. Ferroseed and Dwebble can effectively set up Spikes, whereas Skrelp has access to Toxic Spikes. Foongus punishes Fairy-, Ground-, and Water-types, all of which heavily threaten Tyrunt, and can use Spore to put annoying switch-ins to sleep. In return, Tyrunt can switch into Flying- and Fire-type moves aimed at Foongus. Pokemon that really benefit from entry hazards and can deal with Fighting-types in return, such as Abra and Gastly, are great teammates.

Moves Dragon Dance allows Tyrunt to outspeed the whole unboosted metagame after a boost, as well as increasing its Attack to a more threatening level. Stone Edge is a very powerful STAB move able to hit Flying-types super effectively and deal heavy damage to any Pokemon that doesn't resist it, although its accuracy is certainly a downfall. Rock Slide is a more accurate alternative for this slot, also featuring a nice 30% flinch chance. Outrage is the strongest STAB move Tyrunt has access to, although it doesn't add much coverage. Earthquake is particularly useful on this set, as it hits Steel-types such as Pawniard and Magnemite super effectively, complementing Tyrunt's coverage. Zen Headbutt can be used to hit bulky Fighting-types, such as Mienfoo and Timburr, super effectively, but those should have already been weakened before you attempt to set up. Dragon Claw can be used over Outrage in order not to lock Tyrunt into the same move, though it's very weak and underwhelming. Another coverage move such as Fire Fang, which deals with Ferroseed; Superpower, which deals with both Porygon and Pawniard; or Iron Tail for Fairy-types can be used as well based on team's needs. Set Details The given EV spread alongside a Jolly nature allows Tyrunt to reach 15 Speed while still maximizing its Attack. A Jolly nature is preferred in order to outspeed 14 Speed Choice Scarf users such as Gothita and Modest Magnemite after a Dragon Dance. The remaining EVs are put into Special Defense to increase Tyrunt's overall bulk. Sturdy is particularly useful to have Tyrunt survive at least one hit if at full health, granting the chance to get a +1 boost. Strong Jaw helps in case Tyrunt carries biting moves. Berry Juice works well in tandem with Sturdy, as it restores 20 HP, thus getting advantage of Sturdy once again. 23 HP IVs lower Tyrunt's HP stat to 21 in order to completely heal after the activation of Berry Juice. Eviolite can be used to better check Flying-types like Fletchling as well as set up much more easily versus some bulky attackers. Usage Tips Tyrunt should be brought into the field only after a Pokemon gets KOed; it shouldn't be directly switched into attacks, except particular scenarios in which it doesn't get weakened that much, because Sturdy getting broken notably reduces its longevity. Entry hazards should be removed as well before attempting to sweep because they would break Sturdy as well. It is recommended, unless Tyrunt carries any particular coverage move, not to set up until its counters have been KOed or at least weakened with item removal. Tyrunt must be wary of status moves, as burn and poison break Sturdy, and paralysis prevents it from sweeping the opposing team. Team Options Gothita is a great partner, as it can eliminate opposing Fighting-types, such as Mienfoo and Timburr, that would otherwise resist Tyrunt's attacks and retaliate with a powerful STAB move. Gothita also helps weaken bulky Pokemon by Tricking them a useless Choice Scarf. Unexpected lures, such as Fighting-types with Poison Jab and Sludge Bomb Diglett, are particularly helpful to shut down Fairy-types. Entry hazard support, especially Spikes from the likes of Dwebble, Ferroseed, Trubbish, and Drilbur, is greatly appreciated, as it shuts down opposing Sturdy + Berry Juice combinations and breaks Focus Sashes, as well as weakening switch-ins. Entry hazard removers, such as Drilbur and Staryu, allow Tyrunt to switch in without taking any damage that would break Sturdy.
