Pokémon GO: Tryanitar Raid Guide (Best Counters & Weaknesses)
Tryanitar is a Rock- and Dark-type Pokémon that Trainers will encounter as a Tier-3 Raid Boss in Pokémon GO. This dinosaurian Pokémon from Johto wields 23,779 Combat Power, which means soloing the Raid as a high-level Trainer is feasible, but being accompanied by another player is recommended. Accordingly, having the proper elemental counters to beat this Raid Boss is essential for the best results in battle. Tryanitar also has a slight chance of being Shiny in Pokémon GO, appearing with a yellowish-green body and purple abdomen instead of its usual light green appearance.
As a Rock and Dark Pokémon, Tryanitar is resistant to Normal, Flying, Poison, Ghost, Fire, Dark, and Psychic attacks. As a result, Pokémon such as Ninetales, Flareon, or Arcanine will be highly ineffective against this Raid Boss. On the other hand, it is weak to Ground, Bug, Steel, Water, Grass, Fairy, and especially Fighting Moves. If the weather is Partly Cloudy or Foggy in the AR world of Pokémon GO, Tryanitar will receive a Weather Boost, slightly enhancing its Fast and Charged Moves. Moreover, this Raid Boss will deal its maximum amount of damage when equipped with Smack Down and Stone Edge.
