Rogue Mega Tyranitar Boss Fight

Rogue Mega Tyranitar is a formidable Pokemon with high stats, including at least three perfect IVs. Moreover, it is a Level 59 Pokemon with a Rock/Dark typing. However, it also has a lot of weaknesses, including:
- Fighting
- Ground
- Bug
- Steel
- Water
- Grass
- Fairy
So, we recommend that you bring these Pokemon that can exploit the weaknesses mentioned above. Not only do they have super-effective moves, but they can also Mega Evolve during the fight. Here are all of them:
- Lucario
- Gardevoir
- Falinks
- Starmie
- Aggron
During the battle, Mega Rogue Tyranitar uses during the battle:
- Rock Slide: Tyranitar spawns multiple floating rocks that drop after a second. Move away from underneath to avoid damage.
- Rock Tomb: Tyranitar charges up and spawns jagged rocks going outwards from its locations. This has a large range, so calling back your Pokemon is the best choice. You can also damage Tyranitar enough to stun it out of this animation.
- Sandstorm: Tyranitar creates circular zones on the field that damage anyone inside.
- Earthquake: Tyranitar moves to the center of the field and charges a powerful attack covering nearly the entire arena. Moreover, the best way to avoid it is to quickly move to the far outer edge.
Keep dodging its attacks and use the correct moves to win this fight quickly.
