Since,

Head[PolyhedronData["Tetrahedron"]]
  Graphics3D

all you need to do is just to evaluate

PolyhedronData["Tetrahedron"]

without a second Graphics3D and even without  Show, though haivng the  
latter should do no harm.

However, there is something strange about the error message you get  
with your input below. I would have expected "Graphics3D is not a  
Graphics3D primitive or directive."
