Tyranitar (Japanese: バンギラス Bangiras) is a Rock/Dark-type Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon. It is a large reptilian dinosaur-like creature with outstanding and formidable power. Tyranitar has high stats in all areas except for the speed stat.
Special abilities
When it is raised to its full potential, its weaknesses shrink significantly, especially when it's holding Leftovers to regenerate. Although Tyranitar can not learn Recover to heal itself, its high defense stat will make up for it. Using a Leftovers combo will make up the lack of ability to heal on its own.
Evolution
Tyranitar is the final evolution in Larvitar's evolution line. Pupitar evolves into Tyranitar at level 55.
