How to Get Tyranitar in Sapphire

According to the Pokedex in "Pokemon Sapphire," Tyranitar is the Armor Pokemon. This Dark- and Rock-type Pokemon resembles a dinosaur because of its fangs, claws and body shape. Since Tyranitar has well-rounded stats, competitive battlers categorize Tyranitar under the Overused Tier. To get a Tyranitar in "Pokemon Sapphire," you must evolve it from a Larvitar in "Pokemon LeafGreen" and then trade it from the one game to the other.
