Tyranitar 85/181 · Team Up

Tyranitar is Pokédex #248, generation 2 (Johto). Tyranitar is a Stage 2 Darkness Pokémon with 170 HP. The card says it evolves from Pupitar. In this catalog that name is Pupitar (#247).

Tyranitar sits at 85/181 in Team Up, position 85 of 198. Before it is 84 Alolan Muk, and after it is 86 Poochyena. The set belongs to the Sun & Moon series. It was released on February 1, 2019. The printed size is 181. This checklist is longer, at 198 cards. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

The attack Spinning Tail lists no damage number. The cost is Darkness, Colorless, Colorless. This attack does 30 damage to each of your opponent's Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Bite Off is another attack lists 130+ damage. The cost is Darkness, Colorless, Colorless, Colorless. If your opponent's Active Pokémon is a Pokémon-GX or a Pokémon-EX, this attack does 100 more damage. Weakness is Fighting ×2. Resistance is Psychic -20. Retreat cost is 4. The flavor text reads "If it rampages, it knocks down mountains and buries rivers. Maps must be redrawn afterward."

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 170 HP. Both list the rarity Rare Holo. Hironobu Yoshida illustrated that card, and Hasuno illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 3, and here it is 4. 46 other cards of Tyranitar list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Hasuno. I count 74 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Team Up set binder is where a full Team Up 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.
