===Physiology===
[[File:LarvitarObsidianFlames105.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Larvitar feeding on soil]]
Larvitar are small dark green reptilian Pokémon with rocky skin. They have an erect spine on top of their heads, angular black streak markings below and on the upper corners of their red-colored eyes, and several holes or ports on the sides of their bodies. They also have a scaled red rhombus-shaped belly of sorts. Larvitar have fingerless arms and legs with a single nailed toe and a tail somewhat resembling a pine cone in appearance.
Larvitar is a small, green reptilian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with rocky skin. It has a blunt spike on top of its head, a short, rounded snout, and triangular, black markings below and on the upper corners of its red eyes. Red scales cover its diamond-shaped belly, and there are several small diamond-shaped holes in its body. Its short arms lack fingers, while its feet have a single toenail each. It has a tail with a conical center surrounded by a ring of plate-like scales, causing it to resemble a tunnel-boring machine.  
====Gender differences====
None.


===Special abilities===
Larvitar is born deep underground, far from its parent. It emerges to the surface and grows by consuming soil, and it will enter its pupal stage upon eating an entire mountain's worth of earth. This pupal stage is an evolution called {{p|Pupitar}}. Larvitar usually lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountains}}, hills, and caves. It adapts poorly to bright lights. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, it is possible to find a Larvitar holding a half-eaten clump of earth while it sleeps.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref> It is believed this is due to Larvitar falling asleep after filling its belly.
Their penchant for eating copious amounts of soil could be considered a natural ability. Additionally, Larvitar are capable of loosing a painfully piercing {{m|Screech}} if needed.


===Behavior===
===Evolution===
Larvitar are usually quiet. Due to its larval stage, their main interest focuses on eating. Whenever a Larvitar is spotted, it's likely to be seen feeding on soil.
Larvitar evolves into {{p|Pupitar}}, which evolves into {{p|Tyranitar}}.


===Habitat===
(For specifics on this Pokémon's Evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data&rarr;Evolution data]].)
[[File:Mountain.gif|left|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon}}]]
<div style="float:center; display:flex; flex-flow:row wrap;">
Larvitar usually live in mountains, hills, and sometimes, in caves. The mountains they live in are usually their meals: a single Larvitar can eat a mountain in a few weeks.

===Major appearances===

====[[Ash's Larvitar]]====
|name2=Pupitar
{{Ash}} had a Larvitar he hatched from an {{pkmn|egg}} given to him by [[Professor Elm]] to deliver to its mother, living on [[Mt. Silver]]. Despite [[Anime move errors|not being able to learn]] {{m|Harden}} in the games, it constantly used it when approached by anyone other than {{Ash}} or {{AP|Pikachu}} prior to ''[[EP264|Mother of All Battles]]''.

====Other====
|evo2=
Larvitar first appeared in ''[[PK11|Pikachu's PikaBoo]]''. {{AP|Pikachu}} and co. invited Larvitar and its friends to a game of Hide 'n' Seek, though Larvitar refused. Later, it was feeling left out and viciously kicked a rock at a lawnmower (which went ridiculously haywire afterwards).
|no3=0248
 
|name3=Tyranitar
Afterwards, once Pikachu and co., along with Larvitar, destroyed the lawnmower, Larvitar started a new game of Hide 'N' Seek with fellow Pokémon. Larvitar is also shown to fix one of the smaller stones on the larger stone, along with Togepi, whom he had roared at, earlier in the short.

|type2-3=Dark}}
===Minor appearances===
</div>
In ''[[AG188|Pinch Healing]]'', a Larvitar was being babysat by a Poké-Sitter named {{an|Matt}}. Ash and {{Ashfr|his friends}} were helping him with his job. The Larvitar was shy, and used {{m|Sandstorm}} when confronted. By the end of the episode, however, it warmed up to the group, particularly {{an|May}}.
 
A Larvitar also appeared in ''[[DP038|One Big Happiny Family!]]'' in [[Jessie]]'s fantasy.
 
Another Larvitar appeared in ''[[DP141|Challenging a Towering Figure!]]''.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{adv|Crystal}}'s [[Archy]] was attacked by a Larvitar and injured five years prior to the plot of the volume, causing it to go on a rampage until Crystal calmed it down. The same Larvitar returned when Crystal returned to [[Mt. Mortar]], tormenting Crystal and Arcanine until her newly-evolved [[Megaree]] defeated it, allowing her to capture it and regain her shattered confidence from failing to catch {{p|Suicune}} earlier in the volume.

====Major appearances====
=====[[Ash's Larvitar]]=====
Larvitar made its main series debut in ''[[EP258|Hatch Me If You Can]]''. In the episode, {{Ash}} had a Larvitar that he hatched from an {{pkmn|Egg}} given to him by [[Professor Elm]], intended to be delivered to its mother living on [[Mt. Silver]].

=====Other=====
Larvitar debuted in ''[[PK10|Pikachu's PikaBoo]]''. {{AP|Pikachu}} and its friends invited it and its own friends to a game of {{wp|hide-and-seek}}, though Larvitar refused because it holds its responsibility for being charge of guarding the garden. Later, it felt angry about its duty being compromised and viciously kicked a rock at a lawnmower, which went ridiculously haywire, causing it the chase Pikachu and its friends which causes Larvitar to become contrite, though the situation was eventually resolved.
 
In ''[[AG188|Pinch Healing]]'', a Larvitar was being babysat by a Poké-Sitter named {{OBP|Matt|AG188}}. Ash and {{ashfr}} decided to help him with his job.

Larvitar (Japanese: ヨーギラス Yogiras) is a dual-type Rock/Ground Pokémon introduced in Generation II.

It evolves into Pupitar starting at level 30, which evolves into Tyranitar starting at level 55.

Biology

Larvitar feeding on soil

Larvitar is a small, green reptilian Pokémon with rocky skin. It has a blunt spike on top of its head, a short, rounded snout, and triangular, black markings below and on the upper corners of its red eyes. Red scales cover its diamond-shaped belly, and there are several small diamond-shaped holes in its body. Its short arms lack fingers, while its feet have a single toenail each. It has a tail with a conical center surrounded by a ring of plate-like scales, causing it to resemble a tunnel-boring machine.

Larvitar is born deep underground, far from its parent. It emerges to the surface and grows by consuming soil, and it will enter its pupal stage upon eating an entire mountain's worth of earth. This pupal stage is an evolution called Pupitar. Larvitar usually lives in mountains, hills, and caves. It adapts poorly to bright lights. As mentioned in Pokémon Sleep, it is possible to find a Larvitar holding a half-eaten clump of earth while it sleeps.[1] It is believed this is due to Larvitar falling asleep after filling its belly.

Evolution

Larvitar evolves into Pupitar, which evolves into Tyranitar.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's Evolution in the games, refer to Game data→Evolution data.)

Major appearances

Ash's Larvitar

Larvitar made its main series debut in Hatch Me If You Can. In the episode, Ash had a Larvitar that he hatched from an Egg given to him by Professor Elm, intended to be delivered to its mother living on Mt. Silver. Despite not being able to learn Harden in the games, it constantly used it when approached by anyone other than Ash or Pikachu prior to Mother of All Battles.

Other

Larvitar debuted in Pikachu's PikaBoo. Pikachu and its friends invited it and its own friends to a game of hide-and-seek, though Larvitar refused because it holds its responsibility for being charge of guarding the garden. Later, it felt angry about its duty being compromised and viciously kicked a rock at a lawnmower, which went ridiculously haywire, causing it the chase Pikachu and its friends which causes Larvitar to become contrite, though the situation was eventually resolved.

In Pinch Healing, a Larvitar was being babysat by a Poké-Sitter named Matt. Ash and his friends decided to help him with his job. The Larvitar was particularly shy and would use Sandstorm when confronted. By the end of the episode, however, it warmed up to the group, particularly May.

Trivia

Origin

Larvitar appears to share similarities with dinosaurs and kaiju. Its penchant for eating mountains, fences, or probably anything else may also come from the legend of the Tarasque.

Name origin

Larvitar may be derived from larva and Tarasque.

Yogiras may be a combination of 幼児 yōji (baby or child) or 幼生 yōsei (larva), 嫌い kirai (hated), and ソーラス -saurus (Greek-derived suffix for dinosaur names).
