Tyranitar Weakness Pokemon GO - Raid Guide and Best Counters 2021
Currently, Pokemon GO is deep into an event, crossing over with another Pokemon title, New Pokemon Snap.
The event sees a bunch of Pokemon appear more frequently that are likely found in Snap as well as a bunch of new raid bosses.
One of the most popular raid bosses that are part of this event is Tyranitar, who returns to raids for the first time in a little while.
With that in mind, let’s check out if Tyranitar has a weakness and how to take it down in Pokemon GO.

Tyranitar Weakness Pokemon GO
Tyranitar is a Pokemon that has PLENTY of weaknesses to exploit.
It has a 2x weakness to:
- Bug
- Fairy
- Grass
- Ground
- Steel
- Water
With a brutal 4x weakness to Fighting-type moves. This is definitely something players should look to exploit.
Remember, Trainers! Pokémon inspired by the deserts, jungles, and underwater landscapes of the Lental region are appearing in the wild during the New Pokémon Snap Celebration event! Which Pokémon have you snapped a #GOsnapshot of?

Best Counters for Tyranitar Weaknesses
As stated, Tyranitar has a major weakness to Fighting-type Pokemon and this is where you should be looking to start.
Mega Lopunny is a very solid pick. It resists Tyranitar’s Dark-type moves, can hit hard with its own Fighting moves and buffs all other Fighting-type Pokemon.
The likes of Conkeldurr, Machamp, Lucario, Hariyama, Blaziken, Sirfetch’d and Breloom make up the rest of the top counters.
You can find their recommended movesets below:
Mega Lopunny – Low Kick/Focus Blast
Conkeldurr – Counter/Dynamic Punch
Machamp – Counter/Dynamic Punch
Lucario – Counter/Aura Sphere
Hariyama – Counter/Dynamic Punch
Blaziken- Counter/Focus Blast
Sirfetch’d – Counter/Close Combat
Breloom – Counter/Dynamic Punch
Tyranitar can be soloed but it can be fairly difficult – it’d be preferable to have at least two trainers to take it down.
