Character Sheet: The Larvitar Line

LARVITAR/PUPITAR/TYRANITAR


Oh, the days when the pseudo-legendaries got crammed in between the different sets of Legendaries. Larvitar, Pupitar, and Tyranitar are based on kaiju like Godzilla, with some strong resemblance to Godzilla specifically. I have no idea why they turn into a cocoon halfway through. Part of me always assumed it was some obscure part of Godzilla lore I missed or something, but no Pokemon Explained video from Lockstin & Gnoggin or TrueGreen7 or whoever has ever given a good explanation for it either, so I just don't know. They are also one of the few non-Dragon pseudo-legendaries.

Here's the moveset I came up with:


Standard B: Bite > Crunch (II) > Hyper Beam (III)


Side B: Rock Throw > Stone Edge (II)


Up B: Smack Down > Giga Impact (III)


Down B: Stomping Tantrum > Payback (III)


Final Smash: Earthquake > Mega Tyranitar (III)


Entrance: Poke Ball.


Taunts: Roaring, stomping around, things like that.


Kirby Hat: The tops of their heads (and Pupitar's face mask)


Kart: The Poke Ball car

Special Move: Stomping Tantrum


Spirit Battle: On Gym Leader Castle.


Victory Screen: Roaring at the sky and returning to the mountains.

Losing Screen: Fainted.


Color Swaps: Main, shiny, other general colors.


Thanks for reading! Next up, Lugia rises from the sea!
