Tyranitar weaknesses and counters in Pokemon GO

sportskeeda.com:

Pokemon GO adapts the iconic battle system of the massively popular franchise into a simpler form for the mobile market. After the monstrous success of its release in 2016, the game has experienced six years of uninterrupted dominance.

Tyranitar was introduced to the Pokemon franchise in generation II, way back in 1999. It's a massive towering monster that evolves from the small beast Larvitar and the cocoon-like Pupitar. The inspiration for the Armor Pokemon undoubtedly came from Ishiro Honda's iconic Godzilla, resulting in an imposing dinosaur who breathes powerful lasers.

Pokemon GO features a ton of powerful creatures that could present a difficult challenge for players. Tyranitar is a beast in combat, but it has a few unique weaknesses that will help one win.

Interestingly, Tyranitar is a Rock and Dark-type Pokemon. Tyranitar is the only Pokemon with that combination of types, making it uniquely strong in some situations and uniquely vulnerable in others.

There is one Pokemon type that both Rock and Dark are weak against and that type is Fighting. Fighting-type attacks deal a whopping 256% damage against Tyranitar, making them the perfect choice for any battle against it.

Players should absolutely bring a Fighting-type Pokemon into a brawl with Tyranitar, but it's not the only option. It's weak to Ground, Bug, Steel, Water, Fairy, and Grass moves.

Tyranitar is resistant to Normal, Flying, Poison, Fire, Ghost, and Dark. Tyranitar's dual type also gives it special resistance to Psychic damage, which is rendered useless against it.

Pokemon GO has an ever-changing meta that picks the strongest creatures of each type. The highest CP, however, isn't always the best choice in a Pokemon battle.
