[OVERVIEW]
- Has access to Head Smash, one of the hardest hitting moves in the tier with the ability Rock Head so it doesn't take the recoil from Head Smash.
- Is an easy pokemon to use because just clicking head smash works against a lot of teams.
- Has great coverage to pressure all the things that can switch in to a Head Smash.
- Has a great attack stat paired with its great coverage.
- Because its speed tier is pretty low for an offensive mon it doesn't outspeed most common scarfers like Flygon, Gardevoir, Herracross and Kommo-o.
- Has great natural bulk on the physical side but is very frail on the special side.
- Has two different abilities that can be used in Rock Head and Strong Jaw.
- Has two different usefull ways to set up.

Moves
========
* Head Smash and Outrage are just there to spam stab moves, and to break through teams.
* Outrage is used over Dragon Claw because this set is most of the time purely used as a wallbreaker and Outrage hits harder.
* Because this mon is already choiced locked Dragon Caw also has less advantage over outrage.
* Outrage also 2hkos defensive Chesnaught and Gigalith (as long as those don't run lefties) where Dragon Claw doesn't.
* Crunch, Superpower and Earthquake are used to break through mons that can take Tyrantrums stabs.
* Superpower and Earthquake are obvlious because those hit steel types super effective (steel types being the only resists to tyrantrums dual stabs).
* Crunch can be a better option than both of those moves because it has a chanse to 2hko Bronzong and always 2hkos Bronzong after rocks.
Set Details
========
* Choice banded Tyrantrum has the posibility to run Jolly over Adamant too.
* The reason to run Adamant here is because this is used as a wallbreaker and purely wants to do as much damage as possible.
Tyrantrum for instance 2hkos Chesnaught and Doublade if it is Adamant what are roles if it is Jolly.
* A reason to run jolly would be to outspeed Cloyster, Hoopa and speed tie Honchkrow.
Usage Tips
========
* This mon is mainly used as a pure wallbreaker. So get it in early on the match and break down your opponents walls to support your sweepers.
* Try not to switch in tyrantrum on an expected special move, because its really frail on the special side.
Team Options
========
*Hard special hitters to help wallbreaking*: Dragalge, Swellow, Yanmega, Hoopa, Salazzle
*Fire types to beat the steal types and Chesnaught*:Emboar, Salazzle, Rotom-Heat.
Tyrantrum beats most fire, and flying types in the tier so it helps set up sweepers like heracross and virizion.

Checks and Counters
===================
* Steel-types*:Doubalde, Registeel, Bronzong, Steelix
* physical defensive mons*: Rhyperior, Regirock, Chesnaught
There is no pokemon in this tier that hardwalls tyrantrum but those are mons that can take headsmash what is the move tyrantrum clicks the most. and also don't get ohkod by any of tyrantrums moves.
*faster special attackers*: Tyrantrum gets hit really hard by special attacks it for instance takes 50+ from Choice Specs jolteon and 70+ from choice specs swellow resisted hits. and even gets ohko'd by Bug Buzz from specs Yanmega.
