Required for any complete Tyranitar master set across eras.
Collectors of the Delta Species set need this card to finish it.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

Stage 2 Tyranitar with 120 HP; top attack around 50 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.

09Card Moves and Abilities

Ability: Crush Draw

Once during your turn (before your attack), you may reveal the top card of your deck. If that card is a basic Energy card, attach it to 1 of your Pokémon. If not, put the card back on top of your deck. This power can't be used if Tyranitar is affected by a Special Condition.

Delta Crush Cost: Fire + Metal + Colorless · 50+ damage

You may discard an Energy card attached to Tyranitar. If you do, this attack does 50 damage plus 20 more damage.

Weakness: Grass ×2
Retreat cost: 2

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: Modern Common/Uncommon — most copies are not graded because raw value rarely justifies the fee.

Graded populations stay low; usually collected raw or sleeved rather than slabbed.

Other graders: Negligible BGS/CGC submission volume.
