Tyranitar: Scarlet Exclusive
Tyranitar is a Rock and Dark type Pokémon. When you face it in a 4-star raid, its Tera Type will be random. However, in a 5-star raid, it has a 50% chance of being a Ghost type, or it could be a random Tera Type.
Pro-Tip: If Tyranitar has a Ghost Tera Type, bringing a strong Dark or Ghost type Pokémon will deal double damage. Our Gholdengo build would be perfect for this!
Salamence: Violet Exclusive
Salamence is a Dragon and Flying type Pokémon. Similar to Tyranitar, in a 4-star raid, its Tera Type will be random. In a 5-star raid, it has a 50% chance of having a Steel Tera Type, or it could be a random Tera Type.
Pro-Tip: If Salamence has a Steel Tera Type, Ground or Fighting type Pokémon will be super effective, dealing double damage. Pokémon like Iron Hands, which is a strong Fighting type, can learn some powerful moves that will be great here!
