Bill is there anything sturdy for my newly restored Tyrunt to gnaw on that IS NOT my arm or my other Pokémon?

Have you tried a nice rock?

(This might sound like I’m joshing you, but actually, rocks are highly effective for curbing a fanged rock-type’s tendency to bite. Leather strips and raw bones—never cooked ones!—are likewise pretty effective, although they don’t last as long as stone. You may find some sandstone or limestone chew toys in your local pokémart, on that note.)

Hi Bill! My tyrantrum pair, Monargoras and Crestie, have recently had a small clutch of tyrunts. I managed to get a melanistic and a shiny out of them both, seeing as their bloodlines are extremely well kept. (I still own multiple generations before them.) but I’ve noticed the shiny gets picked on quite a lot, and that the melan tends to be a bit overprotective. He’s the largest of the clutch, so I’m worried he might injure one of his siblings. Any advice on this? Should I start training soon???

Training is actually exactly what you should do, anonymous. Consider also recruiting your melanistic tyrunt to help you, especially seeing as it’s clearly concerned about the well-being of your shiny. Begin with easy exercises (light strength training and practicing of techniques your shiny knows well), then advance to harder and harder techniques and exercises until your shiny tyrunt can defend itself. Once it reaches that point, it should be able to fight back. (Naturally, you should also teach your tyrunt to use force only when absolutely necessary and not to instigate fights itself.)

Of course, at the same time, you’ll need to teach your other tyrunt to heel. Train them to work together, with your shiny and melanistic tyrunt, and teach them to behave themselves when encountering something that excites them (in a negative way). By balancing your shiny’s training with heel training for your other tyrunt, you may be able to instill discipline and harmony among your team.

Best of luck, anonymous!

Tyrunt and Tyrantrum

Tyrunt
The Royal Heir Pokémon
Type: Rock/Dragon
Official Registration #: 696
Entry: This ancient, diminutive pokémon possessed a large and strong set of jaws, which it used to snap at whatever was directly in front of it before discerning what it could be. It was also known for its explosive temper; if anything occurred that it disliked, it would throw a tantrum and destroy anything within its reach. In that sense, tyrunt are essentially the embodiment of the comments areas of certain social media websites that shall not be named here.

Tyrantrum
The Despot Pokémon
Type: Rock/Dragon
Official Registration #: 697
Entry: The evolved form of tyrunt, during the day and by battle experience. Its oversized jaw was strong enough to shred through metal, and that, combined with the sheer size and strength of the rest of its body, meant that very little could stand up to tyrantrum’s power. As a result, tyrantrum spent millions of years dominating the landscape until its rule was finally challenged by the only opponent that could surpass its power: a meteor that brought on one of the most significant mass-extinctions in our planet’s history.
