Mega Tyranitar Weaknesses Exposed: Effective Counters Revealed
Conquering Mega Tyranitar in Pokémon GO Mega Raids: A Comprehensive Guide
Mega Tyranitar, a formidable 5-Star Mega Raid boss in Pokémon GO, demands a strategic approach. Its high Attack, CP, and Defense stats require careful counter selection to exploit its weaknesses effectively.
Mega Tyranitar's Strengths and Weaknesses: Type Effectiveness
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% super-effective damage. Other weaknesses inflict 160% damage. Conversely, it resists Normal, Fire, Poison, Flying, Ghost, and Dark-type moves.
| Pokémon | Type | Weaknesses | Strong Against | Resistances |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 Mega Tyranitar | Rock/Dark | Fighting Bug Fairy Water Grass Ground Steel | Fire Ice Flying Bug Psychic Ghost Rock Steel Fairy Grass | Normal Fire Poison Flying Ghost Dark |
Despite its vulnerabilities, Mega Tyranitar's diverse moveset (including Iron Tail and Fire Blast) allows it to counter many Pokémon that target its weaknesses.
