The '''Black Tyranitar''' (Japanese: '''黒いバンギラス''' ''Black Bangiras'') is a Pokémon in [[Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys]].

==History==
[[File:Black Tyranitar past.png|thumb|left|220px|The Black Tyranitar battling all of the Pokémon]]
In {{ci|Cianwood}}'s legends, the Black {{p|Tyranitar}} once wreaked havoc in the [[Johto]] [[region]] many years ago. It had uncontrollable power, and it took nearly all of the {{t|Fighting}} Pokémon in Cianwood to weaken it before it can be sealed in an ancient [[Poké Ball]] made from a [[Red Apricorn]] in the backyard of the [[Cianwood Gym]]. During the present, {{GnB|Black}} unsealed the Black Tyranitar in order to catch it and it went on rampage again.

{{GnB|Gold}} tried his best to fight the Black Tyranitar and seal it back in, but he couldn't do it on his own. [[Eusine]] was one of the people who helped out Gold. The Black Tyranitar destroyed nearly all of Cianwood City before [[Jasmine]] arrived with the citizens of [[Olivine City]] to help. The Black Tyranitar made a huge jump in an attempt to land on Olivine City to destroy the rest of the Johto region. Using his [[Silver Feather|Silver Wing]], Gold requested the help of a {{p|Lugia}} that he had befriended earlier. Lugia stopped Tyranitar on its way and fired a powerful attack, which sent Tyranitar back all the way to Cianwood City. It fainted when it landed back on Cianwood City.

Gold attempted to throw a [[Level Ball]], but it bounced off, signifying that even with the combined [[level]]s of all the Pokémon presented (including the citizens of Cianwood and Olivine City), the level of the Black Tyranitar was too high. Black, on the other hand, was reluctant to send out his Pokémon. However, he eventually sent out his Pokémon as the Tyranitar made a fool out of him. With the level of Black's Pokémon added in, the Level Ball finally captured the Black Tyranitar and saved the Johto region. It was later placed back under the seal in the Cianwood Gym backyard.

==Personality and characteristics==
The Black Tyranitar is extremely violent and powerful, being compared to [[Legendary Pokémon]] in terms of power. It's also capable of incredible athletic feats, as demonstrated when it almost managed to leap straight from Cianwood to Olivine in one jump.
