Tyrantrum is a powerful Rock/Dragon-type Pokémon that boasts very high attacking power, even among its peers. With above-average HP and Defense, this Pokémon can stand its ground against other strong opponents, dishing out large damage numbers with high Damage Per Second (DPS) and Total Damage Output (TDO). Moves like Dragon Tail and Meteor Beam help it follow its best offensive strategies.

Any Rock-type Pokémon that uses a Rock-type move in battle does extra damage using that attack. This is due to a hidden feature called Same Type Attack Bonus (S.T.A.B.) that encourages Pokémon to use moves of their native typing.

Unfortunately, Tyrantrum suffers from the most common weakness of the Rock-type — a variety of bad match-ups. While Tyrantrum does have a variety of good resistances against other types, it also has many vulnerabilities to common Pokémon types. As such, Tyrantrum is easy to counter, but it can still be a solid choice for your team against Pokémon who do not deal super-effective damage to it.
