Tyranitar

#248

Tyranitar is a Rock/Dark type Pokémon introduced in Generation 2. Tyranitar is a large, bipedal, dinosaur-like Pokémon. It is mostly green, with a grey diamond-shaped patch on its front. It is covered in armor and has a spiky ridge around its back and tail. It is loosely based on a combination of various armored dinosaurs and the Tyrannosaurus Rex, however its main inspiration appears to be Kaiju creatures from ancient Japanese legends and pop culture, such as Godzilla. Although Tyranitar is Rock/Dark type, it evolves from Pupitar which is Rock/Ground type, thus loses its Ground type upon evolution - a rare occurrence for Pokémon. Tyranitar is a pseudo-legendary Pokémon, and has a Mega Evolution, available in Generation 6 games and Pokémon Go. In Generation 9, a Paradox Pokémon Iron Thorns was discovered, which bears a striking resemblance to Tyranitar.
