Description
Tyranitar, designated as card number 66 in the Expedition Base Set, stands as a formidable Dark-type powerhouse within the 2002 Pokémon Trading Card Game. Evolving from Pupitar, this Stage 2 Pokémon brings significant impact to any deck with its 120 HP and the distinctive Dark Aura ability, which converts all attached Energy into Darkness Energy. This mechanic allows collectors to utilize a diverse selection of Darkness cards more efficiently, streamlining the path to powerful attacks. The card features the devastating Stamp 50+ attack, which requires four Darkness Energy to activate. Its unique coin-flip mechanic offers strategic depth, potentially dealing extra damage and striking opponent’s Benched Pokémon, making it a favorite among players who value unpredictability and board control. Created by artist Kimiya Masago, this Rare card captures the intense, shadowy aesthetic characteristic of the Expedition era, appealing to those who appreciate the early 2000s design language of the franchise. For investors and completists alike, tracking down Tyranitar from the Expedition Base Set remains a key objective. As the Pokémon TCG continues to grow in popularity, cards from this foundational era hold enduring value.
