# Tyranitar (Japanese) #095 — Base Expansion Pack

## Summary

The Japanese edition of Tyranitar came out in December 2001, nearly a year ahead of the English Expedition Base Set copy, and it belongs to Japan's e-card era, when sets arrived on their own schedule well before overseas releases. Tyranitar stands rock-grey and green among scattered boulders, mouth open against a dark mountain backdrop. A regular rare pull, it appeals to Johto-era fans and anyone tracing Japanese Tyranitar. The modelled guide sits at $50 with no copies traded in 30 days; the slab is the real edge, with PSA 10s at $1,185 and a 39% observed gem rate putting about $350 of expected profit per submission.
