Strategy & play

How Tyranitar plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.

  • Its main attack (Ground Burn) needs 4 Energy — a turn-4 swing on manual attachment — you’ll want Energy acceleration to power it up on time.
  • Needs Darkness / Fighting Energy to attack — note its own type is Darkness, so build for the attack cost, not the type.
  • Darkness type, weak to Fighting ×2 — a Fighting attacker doing ≥70 effectively one-shots it.
  • A single-prize attacker — prize-trade-positive against ex / V decks that give up two at a time.
  • Retreat cost 4 — gets stranded Active if gusted; run Switch / Escape Rope or a Float Stone-style Tool.
  • A Stage 2 — without Rare Candy you lose ~2 turns setting it up, and it’s gust-bait before it’s online (you must draw Pupitar first).

How to beat Tyranitar

  • Exploit its Fighting weakness — ≥70 damage one-shots it.
  • Gust it before the evolution is set up.
  • Trap it Active — 4 retreat means it can’t escape without help.

Frequently asked

How can I tell if my Tyranitar is real?

Tyranitar is not on our list of commonly-counterfeited cards, but counterfeits exist across every set. Check the back-light test (real cards have a black inner layer that blocks light; counterfeits glow through), the rosette dot pattern on the back under magnification, font weight and kerning on the card name, and the holofoil pattern if applicable. For high-value copies we recommend submitting to a professional grader (PSA, BGS, CGC) for tamper-evident authentication.
