Raid guide
How the fight goes and what to bring.
Mega Tyranitar is Rock/Dark, weak to Fighting above all (4x), plus Grass, Ground, Bug, Steel, Water, and Fairy — a long list that makes even the Mega duo-able with Fighting attackers like Lucario, Machamp, and Terrakion. The payoff is enormous: Tyranitar is a top Rock and Dark attacker, so a single build covers Flying, Fire, Bug, Ice, Ghost, and Psychic bosses. Mega Tyranitar adds the team-wide boost on top. If you build one non-legendary attacker in the game, make it Tyranitar.
Mega Tyranitar resists Psychic, Dark, Fire, Flying, Ghost, Normal, Poison — leave those attackers out even if they are your highest CP.
