COUNTERS

​Here are the moves you'll want:
  • FAST MOVE: Counter
  • CHARGED MOVE: Dynamic Punch

hariyama

Hariyama is the second-best counter to Tyranitar. It also makes use of Tyranitar's large Fighting weakness, and has enough bulk to withstand Tyranitar's attacks.

​Here are the moves you'll want:
  • FAST MOVE: Counter
  • CHARGED MOVE: Dynamic Punch

groudon

Groudon is the strongest of Tyranitar's Ground-type counters. It also has access to other super-effective moves that can be used against Tyranitar.

​Here are the moves you'll want:
  • FAST MOVE: Mud Shot
  • CHARGED MOVE: Earthquake, Solar Beam

kyogre

Kyogre is the strongest of Tyranitar's Water-type counters. It is far superior to Gyarados and Vaporeon, even at Level 20.

​Here are the moves you'll want:
  • FAST MOVE: Waterfall
  • CHARGED MOVE: Hydro Pump

scizor

For Bug-types, Scizor is best. It attacks very quickly with Fury Cutter, which also charges its Charged Attack quite rapidly! But be very wary of Fire Blast!

​Here are the moves you'll want:
  • FAST MOVE: Fury Cutter
  • CHARGED MOVE: X-Scissor

heracross

Heracross is a great counter to Tyranitar, if you're lucky enough to have access to it. It's entire movepool is highly-effective against Tyranitar.

​Here are the moves you'll want:
  • FAST MOVE: Counter, Struggle Bug
  • CHARGED MOVE: Close Combat, Megahorn, Earthquake

breloom

Breloom may not be the strongest Pokémon, but it can still be of use with its Grass and Fighting-type attacks. But, as with the other Grass and Bug-type counters, be wary of Fire Blast!

​Here are the moves you'll want:
  • FAST MOVE: Counter, Bullet Seed
  • CHARGED MOVE: Dynamic Punch, Seed Bomb

other,  viable  counters

Golem and Rhydon can be used as strong Ground-type attackers.

Feraligatr, Gyarados, Vaporeon, and Kingdra are the best Water-type choices. Even a Salamence with Hydro Pump can be used.

Metagross and Gardevoir can be used for strong Steel or Fairy-type damage, respectively. Be careful of Bite and Crunch!

​For less-risky Fairy-types, use an Ursaring with Play Rough or a Clefable. For Gardevoir and Clefable, watch out for Iron Tail.
