So, what's the better build for Tyrantrum?

Rock Head for fuckmassive alpha damage of STAB Head Smash or the superior coverage of Strong Jaw with Quasi-STAB Ice/Thunder/Fire Fang and Crunch?

You dont need coverage when STAB non-recoil Head Smash rekts almost everything regardless of resistance

Rock Head Head Smash beats Strong Jaw X Fang in terms of damage output unless the opponent is 4x weak to said Fang.

ex.
Strong Jaw Fire Fang vs Skarmory - 195
Head Smash vs Skarmory - 225

Strong Jaw because relying on a STAB with 80% accuracy is suicide in this metagame where a single wasted turn could cost you the game.

I am far from a competitive player, I like Strong Jaw because it is what makes Tyrantrum unique. That ridiculous Head Smash seems better on it than it does on Rampardos though, even though it fits Ramp more.

Ramp is a piece of shit with no speed to back up that power.

You're relying on less than 100% accuracy either way, and both can screw you up. The low chance to miss can come into play at any moment, crucial or not.

Poison Fang and Crunch are kinda bad. Ice Fang and Thunder Fang are unnecessary. Fire Fang is only better on things 4 times weak to it.

So basically choose Dragon Dance set with Head Smash/Fire Fang/Earthquake or Choice Scarf set with Head Smash/Fire Fang/Earthquake/Ice Fang or Superpower. Both with Rock Head.

Additionally I run set with 220 EV spread to outspeed certain things at +1.

There is no Rock Head Tyrunt.
You could get code to download Sturdy Tyrunt (its real HA) if you participated in Battle of Hoenn competition though.

Time to boost!

Whatever you will pick it will be still shit.

Facts are:
- Strong Jaw has more coverage and situational added effects, requires DD to compense in power but will be still slow at +1
- Rock Head only needs a not so reliable Head Smash and EQ to work and Rock Polish + fillers that may include Hone Claw

Usually RP Smash is more effective because has insta power and speed, you rarely manage to set 2 DD. Plus RP + eventual Weakness Policy is a free +2 DD in one turn. It can be still outspeed at +2.

Both Band and Scarf are also options for Rock Head sets of you play on Battle Spot or lowet tiers on simulators.

Choice sets work just fine in higher tiers too though.

Head Smash + life orb already hits like truck so I think of using Rock Polish instead of Dragon Dance. Anyone tried this one? Thoughts?
