Provenance

Where it came from

Released in the year 2001 as part of the Neo Discovery expansion, this card introduced Tyranitar to the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Following the success of the Gold and Silver video games, the set was designed to feature the newly introduced Generation II Pokémon, marking a significant evolution in the game's mechanics by introducing the Dark and Steel types to the card pool.

The artwork for this Holo Rare card was illustrated by Ken Sugimori, whose signature style defined the aesthetic of the early Pokémon franchise. By portraying the Rock- and Dark-type Pokémon in a formidable stance, the design captured the aggressive nature of the character, leading the card to be well-regarded among collectors for its nostalgic value and its status as one of the standout heavy hitters of the Neo era.
