Tyranitar is a fan-favorite Pokemon from Gen 2 and its Mega Evolution is coming back to Pokemon Go Raid battles. If you want this strong creature to be a part of your roster, you’ll need to know everything about it, including its best moveset and whether or not it’s good in battle.

This massive dinosaur was first introduced back in the Johto region along with 99 other Pokemon, and quickly became an ultimate fan-favorite not just due to its cool design but also because of how strong it is in general.

In 2013, with the release of Gen 6, the temporary Mega evolutions mechanic was added to X & Y games thanks to the Kalos’ Mega Stones discovery, and in 2020, they finally made it to Pokemon Go.

Mega Tyranitar is part of the many Mega Pokemon available in the game, alongside fan favorites like Mega Steelix, Mega Charizard, and Mega Gengar. So, if you want to add it to your main team, here’s all you need to know to catch it in Mega Raids from March 14, 2024, until March 21, 2024, and whether or not it’ll be worth your time.
