Best Pokemon GO Mega Tyranitar Counters: Weaknesses & Type Effectiveness

Mega Tyranitar is one of the strongest Pokemon when it comes to PvE in Pokemon GO, and here is how you can easily defeat the pseudo-legendary in 5-star raids.

Mega Tyranitar Weaknesses & Type Effectiveness

Tyranitar is a Rock/Dark-type Pokemon, meaning it has a slew of weaknesses players can exploit. With that said, we recommend players bring Pokemon with Fighting-type attacks, as both of its types are weak to and against Fighting-types. But if fighting isn’t your jam, you can also bring Pokemon with Water, Grass, Ground, Steel, Bug, and Fairy-type attacks.

Pokemon	Type	Vulnerable To	Strong Against	Resistant To
Mega Tyranitar	Rock/Dark	Fighting Bug Fairy Water Grass Ground Steel	Fire Ice Flying Bug Psychic Ghost	Normal Fire Poison Flying Ghost Dark

Mega Tyranitar has various movesets it can potentially bring to raids, which consist of Dark, Steel, Rock, and Fire-type moves. Again, we recommend Fighting-type Pokemon as they resist Rock and Dark-type moves, and they will deal considerable damage to Tyranitar. And if players are lucky enough to face the Mega Tyranitar with the double Dark-type moveset, the boss won’t be able to deal much damage.
