Dark Tyranitar 19/27 · 30th Celebration: Classic Collection
30th Celebration: Classic Collection is a set in the Mega Evolution series. It was released on September 16, 2026. This checklist has 27 cards. Dark Tyranitar is 19/27, in position 5 of 27 on this checklist. Before it is 18 Misty, and after it is 25 Sneasel. The listed rarity is Rare.
Dark Tyranitar is a Stage 2 Darkness Pokémon with 120 HP. In the Pokédex this is Tyranitar (#248), generation 2 (Johto). The card says it evolves from Dark Pupitar. In this catalog that name is Pupitar (#247).
Nakaoka illustrated this card. The same name is on 46 other cards in the catalog.
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 2025. The earliest other card is Tyranitar 12/75 in Neo Discovery (2001). That card is named Tyranitar, while this one is Dark Tyranitar. That card lists 100 HP, and this one lists 120 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. Hironobu Yoshida illustrated that card, and Nakaoka illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 3, and here it is 2. 40 other cards of Tyranitar list a different HP.
The attack Grind lists 10+ damage. The cost is Colorless. Does 10 damage plus 10 more damage for each Energy attached to Dark Tyranitar. Spinning Tail is another attack lists no damage number. The cost is Darkness, Colorless, Colorless. Does 20 damage to each of your opponent's Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Bite Off is another attack lists 70+ damage. The cost is Darkness, Darkness, Colorless, Colorless, Colorless. If the Defending Pokémon is Pokémon-ex, this attack does 70 damage plus 50 more damage. Weakness is Fighting ×2. Resistance is Psychic -30. Retreat cost is 2.
I keep a set binder for 30th Celebration: Classic Collection, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the 30th Celebration: Classic Collection set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Tyranitar can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Team Rocket cards. I still need this card.
