CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

Tyranitar travels through mountains looking for opponents strong enough to withstand it. Its strength can destroy rock and alter the places it passes through; it may even bring down a mountain to build its nest. The Pokédex notes that it may ignore a rival it considers too weak. Its journey is therefore a search for a challenge as much as a movement from place to place: the landscape bears the traces of its decisions and battles.

Background on the species in the video games; its forms and card versions may have appeared later.

A detail worth noticing

After an angry Tyranitar passes through, geographical maps sometimes have to be redrawn: mountains have disappeared and rivers have been buried. Pokémon Black takes the description beyond a simple battle. The event described in the Pokédex affects the entire terrain, with lasting consequences for those navigating it.
