During a Pokémon battle, Typhroc shoots destructive plumes of lava from its back that explode into obsidian shrapnel. Trainers collect the obsidian shards after a battle ends to sell them.
It goads its enemies into attacking, withstands the hits, and in return, delivers a headbutt, crushing their bones with its rocky mane. It can hide behind a shimmering heat haze that it creates using its intense flames.
