Conquering Mega Tyranitar in Pokémon GO Mega Raids: A Comprehensive Guide

Mega Tyranitar, a formidable 5-Star Mega Raid boss in Pokémon GO, demands strategic counter selection to exploit its weaknesses effectively. Despite its high Attack, CP, and Defense stats, a well-chosen team can overcome this Dark-type powerhouse.

Mega Tyranitar's Strengths and Weaknesses

Mega Tyranitar is a dual Rock/Dark type, vulnerable to Bug, Fairy, Fighting, Grass, Ground, Steel, and Water-type attacks. Fighting-type moves are particularly effective, dealing 256% damage. Other weaknesses inflict 160% damage. However, it boasts resistances to Normal, Fire, Poison, Flying, Ghost, and Dark-type moves, and is strong against Psychic-type moves.
