Tyranitar is a fictional character from the Pokémon series of games. It is a Stage 2 Rock- and Dark-type Pokemon that evolves from Pupitar, although it is of a different type (Pupitar is Rock- and Ground-type), and is listed as #248 in the National Pokédex.
Name Origin
Tyranitar comes from the Greek τυραννος (tyrannos), and by extension the English tyrant and (perhaps primarily) the genus Tyrannosaurus. It is unknown if the -tar in Tyranitar's name, or either of its earlier stages, stands for anything other than a resemblance to the name "Tyrannosaur", although the word tar may refer to the fact that it is a Dark-type.
Anime Appearances
In Pokémon: Master Quest, Tyanitar is the mother of Ash's Larvitar. After Ash and friends discover why Larvitar is distrustful of humans (abduction by a gang of Pokémon poachers as well as physical harm to its mother, Tyranitar), they rectify this situation once on Mt. Silver.
Tyranitar is currently happily reunited with Larvitar, and resides in Mt. Silver.
