It is possible to solo defeat Mega Tyranitar in Pokemon GO Mega Raids. However, you need the perfect counters and honed raiding skills for that.

Mega Tyranitar is a Rock and Dark-type Pocket Monster, and is therefore doubly weak to Fighting-type attacks. You must exploit this weakness. Before getting into the counters and strategy you need to take down this formidable monster, take a look at its stats and possible moves:

• Combat Power: 52,433
• Attack: 314
• Defense: 291
• Stamina: 9,000 HP
• Fast Attacks: Bite, Iron Tail
• Charged Attacks: Brutal Swing, Fire Blast, Stone Edge, Crunch

While Mega Tyranitar in Pokemon GO has excellent stats, it is possible to take it down with the following Fighting-type Pocket Monsters:

• Mega Lucario with Force Palm and Aura Sphere
• Mega Heracross with Counter and Close Combat
• Mega Blaziken with Counter and Focus Blast
• Mega Gallade with Low Kick and Close Combat
• Terrakion with Double Kick and Sacred Sword
• Keldeo with Low Kick and Sacred Sword
• Shadow Conkeldurr with Counter and Dynamic Punch

According to Pokebattler.com simulations, these are the only critters that can take down the raid boss within the 300 seconds that are allotted to challengers without weather boost. It goes without saying, that the counters must be powered up to level 50. It is even better if you have the Best Buddy boost activated with them.

As for battling strategies, you should try to dodge as many Charged Attacks as possible, especially if you run into a Stone Edge Mega Tyranitar with Mega Blaziken. You should also have a stock of Max Revives in your bag because separately reviving and healing your attackers will waste precious time.

By following these tricks, you can successfully solo defeat Mega Tyranitar in Pokemon GO Mega Raids.
