Pokemon Trainers, the Pokemon GO Adventure Week is currently underway in Pokemon Go. The Pokemon GO Adventure Week event will run from Thursday, July 27, 2023, at 10:00 a.m. to Wednesday, August 2, 2023, at 8:00 p.m. local time. During the event, trainers will be able to encounter fossil Pokemon and battle against Regidrago and Mega Tyranitar and potentially encounter their shiny variations if victorious; this is the debut of Mega Tyranitrar in Pokemon Go.
Trainers who play the game during the event will receive 2X for spinning Pokestops, 5x XP for spinning a Pokestop for the first time, and only have to walk 1/2 the distance to hatch eggs. A free challenge is available giving players the option to either explore new areas or catch fossil Pokemon.
With that in mind, let’s dive into the best Mega Tyranitrar raid counters:

Mega Tyranitrar Raid Counters
Going into the Mega Tyranitrar raid, trainers will need a team of Pokemon with type effective moves, well-rounded Pokemon, or high attack stats. Overall, Mega Tyranitrar is a heavy hitting rock-type Pokemon. Thankfully it is easy to take down due to its vulnerabilities and below average stamina (HP) stat.
The raid can be completed by a team of 3 to 8 trainers; a team of 5 to 12 trainers can take it down quicker and a team of 12 to 20 trainers can burn through it making a better completionist bonus.
Using Mega Pokemon such as Mega Lopunny, Mega Blaziken, Mega Venusaur, and Mega Blastoise will make the battle a lot easier for most trainers. Ultimately, you will want to use Fairy, Bug, Fighting (2X), Grass, Ground, Steel, and Water-type Pokemon. Be careful, because the raid can be difficult if using Dark, Fire, Flying, Ghost, Normal, Posion, Psychic-Types.
Here are the best counters to overcoming the raid. Some of these recommendations can be substituted out for Pokemon with type advantage or a better move set.
