Tyranitar-GX 121/214 · Lost Thunder

Tyranitar is Pokédex #248, generation 2 (Johto). Tyranitar-GX is a Stage 2 GX Darkness Pokémon with 250 HP. The card says it evolves from Pupitar. In this catalog that name is Pupitar (#247).

Tyranitar-GX sits at 121/214 in Lost Thunder, position 121 of 240. Before it is 120 Umbreon, and after it is 122 Alolan Diglett. The set belongs to the Sun & Moon series. It was released on November 2, 2018. The printed size is 214. This checklist is longer, at 240 cards. The listed rarity is Rare Holo GX.

Lost Out is listed as Ability. If your opponent's Pokémon is Knocked Out by damage from this Pokémon's attacks, put that Pokémon and all cards attached to it in the Lost Zone instead of the discard pile. The attack Dusty Ruckus lists 130 damage. The cost is Darkness, Darkness, Colorless. This attack does 30 damage to each of your opponent's Benched Basic Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Lay the Smackdown-GX is another attack lists 220 damage. The cost is Darkness, Darkness, Colorless. This attack's damage isn't affected by any effects on your opponent's Active Pokémon. (You can't use more than 1 GX attack in a game.) Weakness is Fighting ×2. Resistance is Psychic -20. Retreat cost is 3. The card text says: Pokémon-GX rule: When your Pokémon-GX is Knocked Out, your opponent takes 2 Prize cards.

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). That card is named Tyranitar, while this one is Tyranitar-GX. That card lists 100 HP, and this one lists 250 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare Holo GX. Hironobu Yoshida illustrated that card, and 5ban Graphics illustrated this one. 45 other cards of Tyranitar list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads 5ban Graphics. I count 1,629 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Lost Thunder set binder is where a full Lost Thunder 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.
