Tyranitar 30/100 · Stormfront

Tyranitar is Pokédex #248, generation 2 (Johto). Tyranitar is a Stage 2 Darkness Pokémon with 140 HP. The card lists level 61. The card says it evolves from Pupitar. In this catalog that name is Pupitar (#247).

Tyranitar sits at 30/100 in Stormfront, position 30 of 106. Before it is 29 Tangrowth, and after it is 31 Vespiquen. The set belongs to the Diamond & Pearl series. It was released on November 1, 2008. The printed size is 100. This checklist is longer, at 106 cards. The listed rarity is Rare.

Darkness Drive is listed as Poké-Body. After your opponent's Pokémon uses a Poké-Power, you may search your discard pile for a basic Darkness Energy card and attach it to Tyranitar. The attack Grind lists 20× damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless. Does 20 damage times the amount of Energy attached to Tyranitar. Spinning Tail is another attack lists no damage number. The cost is Darkness, Darkness, Darkness, Darkness, Darkness. This attack does 30 damage to each of your opponent's Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Weakness is Fighting +30. Resistance is Psychic -20. Retreat cost is 4.

Tyranitar (#248) has 47 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 29 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2001 to 2026. The earliest other card is Tyranitar 12/75 in Neo Discovery (2001). That card lists 100 HP, and this one lists 140 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. Hironobu Yoshida illustrated that card, and Kagemaru Himeno illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 3, and here it is 4. 45 other cards of Tyranitar list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Kagemaru Himeno. I count 656 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Stormfront set binder is where a full Stormfront set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Tyranitar can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). I still need this card.
