Tyranitar is a Tier 3 raid boss in Pokémon Go and is one of the most sought-after Pokémon in the game due to its excellent stats and pseudo legendary status.
Being a Rock and Dark type, it is weak to the Fighting, Bug, Fairy, Grass, Ground, Steel and Water types. It is 2x weak to the Fighting type.
While Tyranitar isn’t the top Rock or Dark type in the meta but due to its impressive TDO, it always finds a place. Furthermore, with Mega Tyranitar in the horizon, things are looking up for Ttar.
Tyranitar can be caught with the following CP values:
- 2103 – 2191 CP at Level 20, no weather boost
- 2629 – 2739 CP at Level 25 with Partly Cloudy or Fog weather boost
Generally, 1 high-level trainer can beat Tyranitar with weather boosted Fighting type counters. Otherwise, 2-3 trainers will suffice in taking down Pokémon Go’s Godzilla.
