Larvitar (Japanese: ヨーギラス Yogiras) is a dual-type Rock/Ground Pokémon.

It evolves into Pupitar starting at level 30, which evolves into Tyranitar starting at level 55.

Biology

Larvitar is a small, green reptilian Pokémon with rocky skin. It has a blunt spike on top of its head, a short, rounded snout, and triangular, black markings below and on the upper corners of its red eyes. Red scales cover its diamond-shaped belly, and there are several small holes in its body. Its short arms lack fingers, while its feet have a single toenail each. It has a tail with a conical center surrounded by a ring of plate-like scales, causing it to resemble a tunnel-boring machine. Larvitar is born deep underground, far from its parent. It grows by consuming soil, and will enter its pupal stage upon eating an entire mountain's worth of earth. Larvitar usually lives in mountains, hills, and caves.

Major appearances

Larvitar

In Hatch Me If You Can, Ash had a Larvitar he hatched from an Egg given to him by Professor Elm to deliver to its mother, living on Mt. Silver. Despite not being able to learn Harden in the games, it constantly used it when approached by anyone other than Ash or Pikachu prior to Mother of All Battles.

Other

Larvitar first appeared in Pikachu's PikaBoo. Pikachu and co. invited Larvitar and its friends to a game of hide-and-seek, though Larvitar refused. Later, it was feeling left out and viciously kicked a rock at a lawnmower (which went ridiculously haywire afterwards).

In Pinch Healing, a Larvitar was being babysat by a Poké-Sitter named Matt. Ash and his friends were helping him with his job. The Larvitar was shy, and used Sandstorm when confronted. By the end of the episode, however, it warmed up to the group, particularly May.

A Larvitar appeared in The Mystery of the Missing Cubchoo!. It joined Chris's team at the end of the episode.

Minor appearances

A Trainer's Larvitar appeared in Off the Unbeaten Path participating in the Pokémon Orienteering.

A Larvitar also appeared in One Big Happiny Family! in Jessie's fantasy.

Another Larvitar appeared in Challenging a Towering Figure!.

One also appeared in Meloetta's Moonlight Serenade.

A Trainer's Larvitar appeared in a picture in Origins of Mega Evolution!.

Mortar, tormenting Crystal and Arcanine until her newly evolved Megaree defeated it, allowing her to capture it and regain her shattered confidence from failing to catch Suicune earlier.
