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

5ban Graphics illustrated this card. The same name is on 1,629 other cards in the catalog.

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 Rainbow. Hironobu Yoshida illustrated that card, and 5ban Graphics illustrated this one. 45 other cards of Tyranitar list a different HP.

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.

I keep a set binder for Lost Thunder, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Lost Thunder set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Tyranitar can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). I still need this card.
