Tyranitar (Japanese: バンギラス Bangiras) is a dual-type Rock/Dark pseudo-legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation II.
It evolves from Pupitar starting at level 55. It is the final form of Larvitar.
Tyranitar can Mega Evolve into Mega Tyranitar using the Tyranitarite.
The Paradox Pokémon Iron Thorns is said to be a future relative of Tyranitar.
Biology
Tyranitar is a large, bipedal, dinosaurian Pokémon with a green, armor-like hide covering its body. It has two pairs of pointed teeth: one in the upper jaw and one in the lower. Several spikes of varying sizes protrude from the back of its head, neck, and shoulders. Both sides of its chest, the center of its back, and its knees have two triangular holes. There is a gray, diamond-shaped patch of scales covering its belly and a smaller one on its back. It has three claws on its feet and hands. A ring of spikes surrounds the tip of its tail.
Tyranitar is a powerful Pokémon with an insolent nature, uncaring of others. It is extremely strong, and its thick, rocky hide gives it good resistance to all forms of attack. As mentioned in Pokémon Sleep, Tyranitar sleeps with no fear thanks to this overwhelming power and strong body.[1] As it is not worried about surroundings even in its sleep, Tyranitar can be seen sleeping in an amazing sleeping position with its limbs open wide. As a result, Tyranitar is always looking for a battle and will not flinch at anything, though it ignores opponents that it thinks are not worth its time. Tyranitar's power is so devastating that it can forcefully crush anything using one of its hands. If enraged, Tyranitar sets off outstanding earthquakes that can completely change the entire landscape, destroying houses and mountains, and often forcing cartographers to draw up new maps. It lives in nests made from demolished mountains. In the Galar region, it has a fierce rivalry with Duraludon, which it shares its habitat with, often battling each other in the mountains.[2] Iron Thorns is believed to be a relative of Tyranitar from one billion years in the future.
Prior to Generation IV, Sand Stream was Tyranitar's signature Ability.
Forms
Tyranitar can Mega Evolve into Mega Tyranitar.
Mega Tyranitar has more gaps in its armor than its normal form, with four new triangular holes along the sides of its neck and one on its throat. The four holes on its chest are now larger with the top two containing red ovals. While the spikes along the back of its neck grow shorter, the ones on its head elongate to form prominent ridges along its brows. The center spike on its head becomes a long, upright horn. Its chest plate expands, curving over its shoulders and along its back to form three long, irregular spikes on each side of its body. The scales on Mega Tyranitar's belly have now become red instead of blue and seethe with energy, enabling it to emanate more power.[3] It gains two sharp spikes on its knees, as well as more prominent leg joints. Its tail lengthens, with the three spikes surrounding its tip growing upward and outward. Its back had split open because of the overwhelming power from Mega Evolution. As a Mega Tyranitar, its instincts have only become more destructive, to the point where it may not even be able to hear its Trainer's orders.

Trivia

- No other Pokémon has the same type combination as Tyranitar.
- Tyranitar is the only Dark-type Pokémon in the Monster Egg Group.
- Tyranitar shares its category name with Donphan. They are both known as the Armor Pokémon.
- Mega Tyranitar is tied with Mega Diancie for the highest base stat total of all Rock-type Pokémon and it also has the highest base stat total of all Dark-type Pokémon.
- Tyranitar's design heavily resembles a monster design illustrated by Ken Sugimori for Volume 14 of MicroDesign Publishing's Bimonthly Game Review (Japanese: 隔月刊ゲーム批評) magazine, published on April 1997. According to Sugimori, the monster design was meant to be an original creation unrelated to Pokémon.[4]
Origin
Tyranitar's design may have drawn inspiration from the kaiju genre; its upright posture may allude to how most kaiju are humanoid in shape, due to the need to fit a person inside the suit. Mega Tyranitar's back splitting open could be based on an insect emerging from its cocoon.
Another influence it may have is with the Armadillo girdled lizard, a desert-dwelling lizard mainly distinguished by its especially firm scales, or certain theropod dinosaurs.
Name origin
Tyranitar may be derived from tyrant or Tyrannosaurus (derived from the same root) and Tarasque.
Bangiras may be a combination of 野蛮 yaban (savage) or 蛮 ban (barbarian), 嫌い kirai (hated), and ソーラス -saurus (Greek-derived suffix for dinosaur names).
