Description
Released in 2002 as part of the Neo Destiny expansion, this Dark Tyranitar card (Number 11) stands as a formidable Stage 2 Fighting-type in the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Designed by Shin-ichi Yoshida, the card features a distinctive Holo Rare finish that has made it a sought-after piece for collectors completing the Neo Destiny base set. With 90 HP, it evolves from Dark Pupitar and brings significant combat potential to the field through its unique abilities. The Fighting Mountain Smasher attack allows players to scale damage based on attached Fighting Energy, while Fling Away offers strategic options against benched opponents. For investors and hobbyists alike, this release represents a key component of early 2000s Pokémon collectibles. Its enduring popularity stems from both its competitive utility and its status as a cornerstone of the Neo series. The card’s design and mechanics reflect the era’s shift toward more complex battle strategies, making it a timeless addition to any catalog.

Card Text
Abilities, attacks, oracle text, and flavor text printed on the card.
Attack: Mountain Smasher (20×)
Flip a number of coins equal to the number of Fighting Energy cards attached to Dark Tyranitar. This attack does 20 damage times the number of heads. Then, for each heads, discard the top card from your opponent's deck.
Attack: Fling Away (50)
If your opponent has any Benched Pokémon, this attack does 30 damage instead of 50 and choose 1 of those Benched Pokémon. This attack does 30 damage to that Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.)
Its power is such that not even mountains can stand in its way.
