Mega Tyranitar Raid Guide For Pokémon GO Players: World Of Wonders

Use our Mega Tyranitar Raid Guide to take down this Mega Evolved version of the Rock/Dark-type Johto Beast in Pokémon GO.


We have now entered a new season in Pokémon GO, titled World of Wonders. March kicks this season off with a wave of content including the Island Guardians of Alola in Tier Five Raids and Shadow Raikou in Shadow Raids during the weekend. Today's raid guide for Pokémon GO players will help you assemble a team to take down Mega Tyranitar, who is currently featured in Mega Raids. Let's get into it.

Top Mega Tyranitar Counters

Pokebattler, which calculates all possible combinations of Pokémon and moves, lists the top ten Mega Tyranitar counters as such:

  • Terrakion: Double Kick, Sacred Sword
  • Mega Blaziken: Counter, Focus Blast
  • Keldeo: Low Kick, Sacred Sword
  • Shadow Machamp: Counter, Dynamic Punch
  • Shadow Hariyama: Counter, Dynamic Punch
  • Conkeldurr: Counter, Dynamic Punch
  • Lucario: Counter, Aura Sphere
  • Machamp: Counter, Dynamic Punch
  • Shadow Toxicroak: Counter, Dynamic Punch
  • Mega Lopunny: Double Kick, Focus Blast

It is recommended to power up your counters as much as possible, but creating that amount of strong Shadow Pokémon with their moves unlocked is a tall order for even the most practiced players. Here are ten additional non-Shadow and non-Mega counters that can help take down Mega Tyranitar with efficiency.

  • Hariyama: Counter, Dynamic Punch
  • Cobalion: Double Kick, Sacred Sword
  • Virizion: Double Kick, Sacred Sword
  • Breloom: Counter, Dynamic Punch
  • Galarian Zapdos: Counter, Close Combat
  • Hawlucha: Low Kick, Flying Press
  • Blaziken: Counter, Focus Blast
  • Passimian: Counter, Superpower
  • Buzzwole: Counter, Superpower
  • Toxicroak: Counter, Dynamic Punch

How Many Trainers Are Needed?

Mega Tyranitar can be defeated with two trainers, but if you cannot guarantee the top counters with maxed-out CP and the best moves, your best bet is to make sure you have three or more players. Using the Circle Lock Technique to guarantee Great or Excellent throws, along with Golden Razz Berries, is the best way to catch Pokémon. If you get a Shiny, though, it is a guaranteed catch so be sure to use a Pinap Berry.

Shiny Odds

The Shiny rate for Mega-capable Pokémon is approximately one in 60.

Happy raiding, fellow trainers! Be sure to check back on Bleeding Cool for daily updates on all things Pokémon GO.
