Learn the best way to use a Tyranitar Deck in the current Pokemon TCG meta and which cards work well in this archetype.

Tyranitar from Journey Together is a useful card to lock Item usage from your opponent. While Budew has become a staple in most decks for its attack Itchy Pollen to shut down the opponent’s Item usage in the early game, Tyranitar can do the same throughout the entire match as long as it remains in the Active Spot.
