How to Get Mega Tyranitar

You cannot catch Tyranitar in its mega evolved form from the raid. The mega raid boss is always catchable in its base form and as such, the CP ranges are for a regular Tyranitar.

Tyranitar can be caught with the following CP values:

• 2103 – 2191 CP no weather boost
• 2629 – 2739 CP boosted by Fog and Partly Cloudy weather boost

In order to get Mega Tyranitar you will need 300 Mega Energy for the initial evolution, then 60 Mega Energy to evolve the same Tyranitar again in the future. If you wait for their ‘cooldown’ period to end, Mega Evolution is free. This cooldown period is shorter the higher mega level your Mega Pokémon is. Mega Energy can be obtained via Mega Tyranitar Raids, and once you have evolved Mega Tyranitar, you can earn 5 Mega Energy per candy while walking it as your buddy. You can walk any Larvitar, Pupitar, or Tyranitar to earn Mega Energy, as long as you have previously evolved one to register it to your Mega Pokédex.
