**To use Tyrantrum effectively in the current VGC format, leverage its Rock/Dragon type typing and build around its top-performing movesets.** Tyrantrum appears as a prominent choice in the current Pokémon Champions format, with usage data pulled from competitive teams, tournament results and Showdown-ready pastes tracked by MetaVGC. This page brings together its most common moveset, nature, ability, item, teammates and type weaknesses so you can judge where Tyrantrum fits in a VGC team.

The most common build highlights Rock Head, Choice Scarf and Jolly 2/32/0/0/0/32. Its frequent moves include Head Smash, Rock Slide, Protect, Ice Fang, Close Combat, and Psychic Fangs. Treat those choices as a data-backed starting point: they show what players are bringing, while EV spreads, Tera Type and the final move slot should still respond to your expected matchups.

Defensively, Tyrantrum has important weaknesses to dragon 2x, fairy 2x, fighting 2x, ground 2x, ice 2x, steel 2x. That matters during teambuilding because a strong composition needs ways to cover those attacks without giving up offensive pressure. Partners such as Sinistcha, Incineroar, Farigiraf, Talonflame, and Whimsicott appear often because they can add positioning, type coverage, speed control or safer switches into common checks.
