        PvE AnalysisPvE Analysis

        Behold, one of the strongest Mega Evolutions in Pokémon GO! 😁

        Mega Tyranitar is THE best Dark-type attacker in the game. It is also a fantastic Rock-type attacker, though it is outclassed by Rampardos in DPS. It is one of the best Megas you can get and is pretty much future-proof as well. A completely worthy candidate for level 50 in Pokémon GO! 💪

        💎 Mega Tyranitar’s best moveset for PvE is Bite and Crunch or Smack Down and Stone Edge.

        ⚔️ Raids

        Though Shadow Tyranitar edges out Mega Tyranitar slightly in DPS, Mega Tyranitar is way bulkier, boosts the damage of all Dark- and Rock-types in the Raid battle, and most importantly, the DPS difference is negligible, making Mega Tyranitar the superior choice as it lasts longer. 😌

        One problem is that Smack Down is a legacy move, so you can’t switch between Bite and Smack Down as you wish. So, we recommend building two Tyranitar (Rock and Dark), with Stardust and Candy priority given to the Dark-type variant. 🖤

        🛡️ Gyms

        Mega Evolutions can’t be placed in Gyms.

        PvE AnalysisPvP Analysis

        Mega Evolutions aren't typically allowed in the GO Battle League, but in limited formats such as the Mega Master League, Mega Tyranitar is amazing, even being able to overpower some of its typical weaknesses, such as Kyogre, Charm Primarina, Landorus-Therian, Palkia, and Togekiss.

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

        Mega Pokémon that boost Mega Tyranitar

        A list of Mega Pokémon that boost Mega Tyranitar's Rock and Dark-type moves, Candy, and Candy XL from catching Mega Tyranitar.

        Dark Dark

        Pokédex informationMore information

        Mega and Primal Raid Bonus –Mega Pokémon boost the attack power of all other Pokémon when battling in Raid Battles by 10%. Attacks that share their type with the Mega Pokémon's type(s) receive a 30% boost. However, these bonuses do not stack if there are multiple Mega-Evolved Pokémon battling simultaneously; only the higher boost will be applied.

        Mega and Primal Catch Bonus –While a Pokémon is Mega-Evolved, additional XP and Candy is granted when catching a Pokémon that shares a type with it, or for any raid boss caught. These do not stack with each other. Additionally, High and Max Level Mega-Evolved Pokémon grant an increased chance to obtain Candy XL when catching a Pokémon that shares a type with it.

        Note on Primal Kyogre, Primal Groudon, and Mega Rayquaza
        • Primal Kyogre boosts Water-, Electric- and Bug-type attacks and Pokémon.
        • Primal Groudon boosts Fire-, Grass- and Ground-type attacks and Pokémon.
        • Mega Rayquaza boosts Flying-, Dragon- and Psychic-type attacks and Pokémon.

                  Catch probability with multiple throws

                  In order to help Trainers understand their overall odds when catching Mega Tyranitar, we enable the functionality to showing the total chance to catch it depending on the number of available throws. We calculate this chance as if you repeated the same throw N-number of times.

                  To activate this functionality, change the number of Number of throws to a value greater than 1. The Number of throws option is available in the configuration options above the chart

                  Catch rate formula

                  Pokémon GO catch rate formula can be expressed as follows:

                  • CATCH_MULTIPLIERS = ball * curve * berry * throwType * (type1Medal + type2Medal / 2)
                  • CATCH_RATE = 1 - Math.pow(1 - baseCatchRate / (2 * cpm), CATCH_MULTIPLIERS)

                  There are different multipliers that come into play when calculating catch rate.

                  Curved throws are more effective than regular throws, stronger types of Poké Ball have a higher catch rate, and using a Razz Berry or a Golden Razz Berry also improves your chances.

                  Catch rate multipliers
