Provenance

Where it came from

The Tyranitar card, numbered 088/189, was released in the Darkness Ablaze expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game in August 2020. This set served as the third major expansion of the Sword & Shield Series, drawing heavily from the mechanics and aesthetic established in the Galar region games. As a Fighting-type evolution, this iteration of Tyranitar reflects the imposing presence the species has held in the competitive meta since its introduction in the Johto region.

The artwork for this card was provided by illustrator Mitsuhiro Arita, a foundational artist for the Pokémon TCG since its inception. Arita's design choice emphasizes the creature's formidable, armored exterior and grounded nature, utilizing the signature holo-rare foil treatment to catch the light across its crystalline shell. Upon release, the card was widely collected by fans of the franchise, serving as a reliable and aesthetically pleasing staple for players looking to incorporate heavy-hitting Fighting-type attackers into their decks.
