Tyrunt
Say it: TY-ru-nt
Kids summary (simpler)Tap to expand
Tyrunt is the Royal Heir Pokémon — Rock and Dragon fossil before Tyrantrum. In Pokémon GO it is usually candy on the way to Tyrantrum — not a finished raid attacker. Rock/Dragon hits Fire, Flying, Ice, Bug, and Dragon well; Ice hits it for 4×. Hatch from Adventure Week eggs or catch from events, then evolve.
Say it: TY-ru-nt
Tyrunt (#696) is a Rock / Dragon Pokémon in Pokémon GO — the baby stage of Tyrantrum. Trainers almost never power Tyrunt for raids; the value is candy and IVs for Tyrantrum. Against Tyrunt, lead with Ice (best), or Fighting or Steel. Stats, type chart, moves, and counter picks below use our Game Master snapshot.
