It evolves into Pupitar at level 30, and then into the formidable Tyranitar at level 55, a pseudo-legendary Pokémon. Larvitar's natural habitat is often depicted in mountainous regions, where it digs through the earth, feeding on soil. Its diet of dirt and rock allows it to grow and harden its body. Larvitar is a solitary creature, spending most of its time underground. In the games, Larvitar is a rare find, often requiring specific conditions or locations to encounter. It has a significant role in the anime through Ash's journey with a Larvitar that hatched from an egg, showcasing its emotional depth and growth. Its evolution line is highly sought after by trainers due to Tyranitar's power and defensive capabilities. Larvitar's design, resembling a small dinosaur with a rocky shell, contributes to its enduring popularity and cultural significance within the Pokémon franchise. Its dual typing gives it resistances to Fire, Electric, Flying, Normal, and Poison, but makes it weak to Water, Grass, Fighting, Ground, Steel, and Ice.
