Description
Tyranitar debuted in Generation 2 as a Rock/Dark Pokemon. Its concept appears to draw from a combination of various armored dinosaurs and the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Name Origin
The name Tyranitar appears to combine tyrannosaur (a large bipedal dinosaur) and tar (from Latin ‘tardus' meaning slow).
