# Tyranitar #85/181 — Team Up

## Summary

Tyranitar has been a fan favorite since Gold and Silver, a pseudo-legendary whose kaiju-like bulk keeps Johto nostalgia alive. As a regular Rare it was a mid-tier pull in Team Up, and Bite Off's extra damage against GX and EX gave it a modest competitive angle, illustrated by Hasuno. At a $7.60 modelled guide, with 35 copies traded in 30 days, with the tape reading as a steady markup with inventory under control, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.23 out of Journey Together; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
