It is the final evolution of Larvitar, evolving from Pupitar at level 55. Known for its immense power and destructive capabilities, Tyranitar can single-handedly change landscapes, often creating mountains and valleys in its wake. Its hide is incredibly tough, allowing it to withstand almost any attack, and its aggressive nature makes it a dominant force in its natural habitat, which typically consists of mountainous regions. In the games, Tyranitar is a highly sought-after Pokémon due to its high base stats, particularly its Attack and Defense, making it a staple in competitive play. Its Sand Stream ability, which summons a sandstorm upon entry, further enhances its offensive and defensive prowess. In the anime, Tyranitar has been depicted as both a wild, destructive force and a loyal, powerful companion. Its imposing appearance and raw strength have cemented its status as one of the most iconic pseudo-legendary Pokémon, representing untamed power and resilience in the Pokémon world.
