Tyranitar's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Read meta analysis

Tyranitar PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

TYRANITAR.

The very name evokes awe and power, and rightfully so. 🤩

While its Mega Evolution is preferred and Tyranitar itself is outclassed in both its types (Rock and Dark), it still remains a force to be reckoned with. 👏 Tyranitar is one of those monsters you definitely must have in Pokémon GO. 👍

💎 Tyranitar’s best moveset for PvE is Bite and Brutal Swing (preferred) or Smack Down and Stone Edge (great).

⚔️ Raids

Tyranitar functions better as a Dark-type attacker, punishing Psychic-type Raid Bosses as it double-resists their attacks. It's good as a Rock-type attacker but not as efficient. Keep in mind that its biggest strength is its high TDO. 💪

🛡️ Gyms

Tyranitar has impressive bulk, but its Rock/Dark typing gives it a whopping 7 weaknesses, including a double weakness to Fighting-types, the most common Gym attackers. 😬

Tyranitar PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

Tyranitar’s high stats make it ideal for the higher PvP Leagues. It hits hard, has a great moveset, and beats some top threats. The biggest issue is its host of weaknesses, which definitely take a toll on its survivability in battles. To put it into perspective, it requires farming energy and switching in/out of battles at the right time to ensure optimal performance. 🙂

💎 Tyranitar’s best moveset for PvP is Smack Down, Stone Edge, and Brutal Swing.

🔵 Great League

Tyranitar’s high ATK results in its bulk being toned down due to the Great League’s restrictions. Add its many weaknesses, and you can see why this Pseudo-Legendary has a tough time navigating through this format. 😶

🟡 Ultra League

The Ultra League is easier on Tyranitar, but it still suffers from its numerous weaknesses. It does bag a few impressive wins, but is underwhelming overall. 🫤

🟣 Master League

Weaknesses like Fairy, Ground, Steel, and Water are fairly common in the Master League, so it's challenging to run Tyranitar successfully. 🫣
