Best Pokemon GO Mega Tyranitar Counters: Weaknesses & Type Effectiveness

Conquering Mega Tyranitar in Pokémon GO: A Comprehensive Guide

Mega Tyranitar, a formidable 5-Star Mega Raid boss in Pokémon GO, demands strategic counter selection. While possessing high Attack, CP, and Defense, its considerable HP is its vulnerability. This guide details optimal counters, leveraging its weaknesses for maximum effectiveness.

Mega Tyranitar's Strengths and Weaknesses

Mega Tyranitar is a dual Rock/Dark type, susceptible to Bug, Fairy, Fighting, Grass, Ground, Steel, and Water-type attacks. Fighting-type moves deliver the most significant damage (256% effectiveness), while other weaknesses inflict 160% damage. Conversely, it resists Normal, Fire, Poison, Flying, Ghost, and Dark-type moves.

Despite its vulnerabilities, Mega Tyranitar's diverse moveset (including Iron Tail and Fire Blast) counters many Pokémon exploiting those weaknesses.

Shiny Mega Tyranitar is obtainable from 5-Star Mega Raids, but the odds are 1 in 128. Larvitar Community Days offer a higher chance of obtaining a Shiny Larvitar, which can then be evolved.
