- Tyranitar’s damage from Fighting moves is doubled, making countering Tyranitar remarkably easy. Fighting-types surpass any other type against Tyranitar, so we highly urge you to stick with them.
- Tyranitar could be soloed now that the PVP update has changed the damage to Super Effective, assuming you have good fortune and a group of Machamp.
- Machamp with Counter/ Dynamic Punch or Karate Chop/ Dynamic Punch is the strongest Pokemon to use against Tyranitar. Some other dual Fighting move sets will suffice, as the gap in damage input is only about 15% at most. Machamp is also less vulnerable to Dark and Rock moves.

Since March 2021, I've worn two hats at Spiel Times: a writer and a Managing Editor. In my writing role, I've earned recognition from Wikipedia and Nev Schulman (Catfish TV Show host) for my insightful analysis and engaging narrative style. I'm passionate about all things gaming, with a keen eye for detail and a knack for uncovering hidden secrets within games. My gaming journey began at a young age, captivated by titles like Resident Evil and Tomb Raider. Today, I enjoy exploring open-world RPGs and MMORPGs, consumed by their lore and crafting theories about their narratives. I'm also drawn to the suspenseful atmosphere of horror games and the intricate narratives of crime-themed titles, bringing a unique perspective to my writing. Beyond gaming, I have a fascination with anything unexplained and chilling, a passion that often spills over into my exploration of horror games. When I'm not engrossed in a virtual world, you can find me curled up and spending time with my adorable doggy sidekick, Teemo. As Managing Editor, I'm committed to fostering a collaborative and supportive environment for our writing team. I communicate openly with my team members, addressing any content-related issues and providing guidance to help them excel.
