Tyranitar

() is a /-type Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation II. It has a counterpart from Generation VIII known as Duraludon.
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Tyranitar is a large, bipedal dinosaurian Pokémon. It has a gray-blue diamond-shaped scale on its belly and has a hard green-colored armor covering its entire body, with some holes on it. Several spikes protrude from its body. Its arms and legs are small and chubby with three sharp claws extending from it.
It has a pair of sharp, pointed teeth on both of its jaws, along with a large powerful tail protruding from its back.
As Mega Tyranitar, the spikes have grown even larger to the point that its' back has split open and it has grown larger overall. The diamond-shaped scale has also turned completely red.
===Natural abilities===
With Sand Stream, Tyranitar can summon a sandstorm which lasts for a while, making it even more durable against Special attacks, and damaging any Pokémon that is not immune to it. Tyranitar can resist most forms of attack and can learn various powerful moves, including Focus Blast, Outrage, and Iron Tail. It can prevent opponents from eating their own Berry if Tyranitar has Unnerve as its ability.
===Behavior===
Tyranitar is an extremely violent Pokémon, being able to burn down an entire mountain in a rampage, often causing people to redraw maps after its destructive rampage. They frequently seek other Pokémon worthy of their time to fight. Tyranitar that live in Galar are known to frequently clash with Duraludon over resources and territory. Despite those traits they are affectionate to their own and those who took care of it; some as a Larvitar, others as an an adult tyranitar.
Mega Tyranitar's drastic evolution has caused some people to wonder if it even listens to its Trainer's orders.
==Evolution==
Tyranitar is the final evolution in Larvitar's evolutionary line. Pupitar evolves into Tyranitar at level 55. Tyranitar can Mega Evolve into Mega Tyranitar if it holds a Tyranitarite and its Trainer has a Key Stone.
