Mega Tyranitar Weakness
Mega Tyranitar is weak to Fighting, Water, Grass, Ground, Bug, Steel, and Fairy. Watch out for Fighting attacks, those deal 4x damage. On the flip side, it's immune to Psychic-type moves entirely. It resists 6 types, so it can switch into a lot of moves safely. Mega Tyranitar's physical bulk (base 150 Def) helps cushion physical weakness hits, but special attackers are the bigger threat.
| Damage | Types |
|---|---|
| 4x (Critical) | Fighting |
| 2x (Weak) | Water, Grass, Ground, Bug, Steel, Fairy |
| 0.5x (Resist) | Normal, Fire, Poison, Flying, Ghost, Dark |
| 0x (Immune) | Psychic |
