How Tyranitar plays

Make your way to the top with Tyranitar’s Unite Move, Tyrannical Rampage. Tyranitar explodes with anger and goes on a rampage, increasing its movement speed and gaining hindrance resistance. While Tyranitar is rampaging, its basic attacks quake and deal more damage—and if a Pokémon on the opposing team is hit by these basic attacks when at low HP, it’ll be immediately knocked out!
