Tyranitar in Pokemon Survivor

Tyranitar at a glance

Stats and Stat Score

Tyranitar has 115 HP, 104 speed and a 1.44x attack multiplier. The multiplier scales every move it uses, so it is the number to watch.

Compared with the whole roster, its HP is well above average, its speed is about average and its attack is among the best on the roster. Weighting attack at half and HP and speed at a quarter each gives the Stat Score of 72.8, which puts it at rank 96 overall, rank 6 of 100 among Johto Pokemon and rank 7 of 66 Rock-types and 8 of 60 Dark-types. The score comes from the game's stat table, not from playtests, so read it together with the best Pokemon guide.

On the full Pokedex ranking Tyranitar sits next to Necrozma one place above it and Tapu Koko one place below it.

Tyranitar moves

Pokemon that are not starters begin with the signature move of their first type, so Tyranitar starts every run with Rock Throw: a heavy boulder that pushes the enemy back.

The level-up cards can then offer 13 different moves: the 8 Normal moves that every Pokemon shares plus 5 moves of its own types. Moves level up to level 5 and can evolve once you also take the stat card they need, which is covered in the move evolution guide. The permanent Repertoire upgrade adds a second, random starting move; see the upgrades guide.

• Normal moves: Tackle, Quick Attack, Swords Dance, Agility, Harden, Body Slam, Hyper Voice, Substitute
• Rock moves: Rock Throw, Rock Slide
• Dark moves: Bite, Dark Pulse, Night Shade

Weaknesses and resistances

Tyranitar takes extra damage from Fighting (2.4x), Water (1.6x), Grass (1.6x), Ground (1.6x), Bug (1.6x), Steel (1.6x), and Fairy (1.6x). It resists Psychic (0.3x), Normal (0.6x), Fire (0.6x), Poison (0.6x), Flying (0.6x), Ghost (0.6x), and Dark (0.6x). The remaining 4 of 18 types deal normal damage. The chart is softer than the main games: a super-effective hit is x1.6, a resisted hit x0.6 and an immunity x0.3, and two types multiply with each other inside the range 0.3 to 2.4. See the type chart guide for every matchup.

The multipliers apply to the damage you take, and enemies attack with the first type listed for them, so the dangerous enemies for Tyranitar are the ones whose first type is Fighting, Water, Grass, Ground, Bug, Steel, or Fairy, which hit for up to 2.4x. Boss shots carry their first type too. Weather does not change these numbers, but it changes your own damage; see the weather guide. There is no same-type bonus, so Rock or Dark moves do not hit harder just because Tyranitar shares the type.

How to get Tyranitar

Tyranitar is part of the Johto banner. A single pull first picks a rarity (1.5% for Legendary) and then picks one of the 7 Legendary Pokemon on that banner at random, so one pull gives Tyranitar a 0.21% chance. Every banner has its own pity counter: the 70th pull without a 5-star is always a 5-star, which works out to about 43.5 pulls per 5-star and roughly 305 pulls to land this particular one.

A pull costs one ticket and ten pulls cost ten tickets or one x10 ticket. Tickets are earned in runs, from missions and from chests and are never sold for money. A duplicate turns into 300 coins, or 900 if it is the shiny version. The full odds and the pity rule are in the gacha guide.

Shiny Tyranitar exists in this game. One pull in a hundred is a shiny, and wild enemies are shiny one time in 4096. Read the shiny guide for the details.

Tyranitar as an enemy

Tyranitar never shows up as a regular enemy because 5-star Pokemon are left out of the enemy cast.

It is also strong enough to be picked as a boss: it can fill the minute 9, minute 12, or minute 15 slot. Boss fights are laid out in the bosses guide. Its attack set would be a ground slam, a straight charge, falling danger zones, and a ring of shots.
