Dark TyranitarTeam Rocket Returns #20 Pokémon Card

Tyranitar, a formidable Rock/Dark-type Pokémon, was introduced in Generation II as the pseudo-legendary of the Johto region. It evolves from Pupitar, which in turn evolves from Larvitar, completing a three-stage evolution line. Known as the "Armor Pokémon," Tyranitar possesses immense strength, capable of leveling mountains and causing devastating earthquakes with its powerful moves. Its aggressive and territorial nature is well-documented in the Pokédex, often depicting it as a solitary creature that avoids human contact but will defend its territory fiercely. In the games, Tyranitar is a highly sought-after Pokémon for its impressive base stats, particularly its Attack and Defense, making it a staple in competitive play. Its Sand Stream ability, which summons a sandstorm upon entering battle, further enhances its defensive capabilities and synergizes with other Rock, Ground, and Steel types. In the anime, Tyranitar has been featured in various roles, often portrayed as a powerful and sometimes misunderstood force of nature. Its imposing appearance and destructive capabilities have solidified its place as one of the most iconic and beloved pseudo-legendary Pokémon in the franchise, symbolizing raw power and untamed wilderness.
