Tyranitar (Japanese: バンギラス Bangiras) is a Rock/Dark-type Pokémon.
Biology
Tyranitar resemble the Japanese creature Godzilla and the dinosaur Tyrannosaurus, due to its short arms and powerful long tail. Also, two rows of spines make up its back, and its hide is known to make the Pokémon impenetrable. Tyranitar are known to go on month-long rampages that are usually catastrophic, as whole regions can be destroyed with a simple tail-swing. Tyranitar are located in mountainous regions, and create nests by breaking mountains apart.
Physiology
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Like some Dragon Pokémon, Tyranitar is capable of learning various elemental attacks, including Surf. Like all fully-evolved Pokémon, Tyranitar can know Hyper Beam or Giga Impact.
Behavior
Because of its Dark sub-type, Tyranitar are selfishly uncaring towards others and will challenge any Pokémon to a fight. When sent into a rage, it will obliterate the landscape around it, thus forcing maps to be redrawn.
Habitat
Tyranitar are mercifully rare in the wild. They normally live in the mountains.
