Verdict
Situational
Tyrantrum is a solid but not elite Rock-type attacker, sitting at Tier B (#26) in raid performance. With a max CP of 3,537 and base stats of 227/191/193, it can fill a role on your team if you lack stronger Rock-type counters. The best moveset is Rock Throw paired with Meteor Beam. Consider investing if you need a Rock-type attacker now, but hold off on XL Candy investment as better alternatives exist. A useful stepping stone rather than an endgame pick.
Shadow vs Regular: Shadow Tyrantrum deals 20% more damage but takes ~20% more. For raids, Shadow is generally the better investment. For PvP, evaluate matchups carefully — the bulk loss can be significant.
