Tyranitar 31/75 · Neo Discovery

Tyranitar is Pokédex #248, generation 2 (Johto). Tyranitar is a Stage 2 Darkness Pokémon with 100 HP. The card lists level 54. The card says it evolves from Pupitar. In this catalog that name is Pupitar (#247).

Tyranitar sits at 31/75 in Neo Discovery, position 31 of 75. Before it is 30 Smeargle, and after it is 32 Umbreon. The set belongs to the Neo series. It was released on June 1, 2001. The printed size is 75, and the checklist is the same length. The listed rarity is Rare.

The attack Slam lists 30× damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless, Colorless. Flip 2 coins. This attack does 30 damage times the number of heads. Trample is another attack lists 50 damage. The cost is Darkness, Darkness, Colorless, Colorless. For each Benched Pokémon in play (yours and your opponent's), flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 30 damage to that Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Resistance is Psychic -30. Retreat cost is 3. The flavor text reads "Its body can't be harmed by any sort of attack, so it is very eager to make challenges against enemies."

Tyranitar (#248) has 47 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 30 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). Both list 100 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. 46 other cards of Tyranitar list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Hironobu Yoshida. I count 38 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Neo Discovery set binder is where a full Neo Discovery 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.
