Rocket's Tyranitar (Japanese: R団のバンギラス Rocket's Bangiras) is a Darkness-type basic Pokémon card. It is part of the Pokémon VS set. It was released in Japan only. This page uses the English equivalents of Japanese names.

Trivia

• The trainer's face displayed in the leader's box on this card is that of the Iron-Masked Marauder. This is the only Team Rocket card in the VS set that does this; other Team Rocket cards in the set picture a male Team Rocket grunt in the leader's box.
• Ironically, this is the only card where the Iron-Masked Marauder's face is displayed in the leader's box on a Japanese card that wasn't released in English. The other two released cards with the Iron-Masked Marauder's face in the leader's box, Rocket's Scizor and Rocket's Sneasel from the "P" Promotional cards series, appeared in English as part of the Best of Game promotional series, though not with the leader's box on it.

Origin

• Slam is a move in the Pokémon games; however, Tyranitar cannot learn it.
• The Iron-Masked Marauder captured a Tyranitar in a Dark Ball during Celebi: Voice of the Forest.
