'''Larvitar''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヨーギラス''' ''Yogiras'') is a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Ground}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Pupitar}} starting at [[level]] 30, which evolves into {{p|Tyranitar}} starting at level 55.

Larvitar is a small, green reptilian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with rocky skin. It has a blunt spike on top of its head, a short, rounded snout, and triangular, black markings below and on the upper corners of its red eyes. Red scales cover its diamond-shaped belly, and there are several small diamond-shaped holes in its body. Its short arms lack fingers, while its feet have a single toenail each. It has a tail with a conical center surrounded by a ring of plate-like scales, causing it to resemble a tunnel-boring machine.  

Larvitar is born deep underground, far from its parent. It emerges to the surface and grows by consuming soil, and it will enter its pupal stage upon eating an entire mountain's worth of earth. This pupal stage is an evolution called {{p|Pupitar}}. Larvitar usually lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountains}}, hills, and caves. It adapts poorly to bright lights. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, it is rare to find a Larvitar holding a half-eaten clump of earth while it sleeps.<ref>''[[Pokémon Sleep|Sleep Style Dex]]''</ref> It is believed this is due to Larvitar falling asleep after filling its belly.

===Evolution===

Larvitar evolves into {{p|Pupitar}}, which evolves into {{p|Tyranitar}}.

===Pokémon Evolutions===

In ''[[PE07|The Show]]'', a Larvitar briefly appeared under the ownership of a {{pkmn|Trainer}} in [[Ecruteak City]].

==In the manga==

[[File:Crystal Larvitar Adventures.png|thumb|120px|Larvitar in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]

===Ash & Pikachu===

{{main|Ash's Larvitar}}

At the end of ''[[SP15|A Mysterious Egg!!]]'', {{Ash}}'s Larvitar hatched from its {{pkmn|Egg}}.

===Pokémon Adventures===

{{adv|Crystal}}'s {{p|Arcanine}}, [[Archy]], was attacked by a Larvitar and injured five years prior to ''[[PS117|Slugging It Out With Slugma]]'', causing him to go on a rampage until Crystal calmed him down. In ''[[PS135|Lively Larvitar]]'', Larvitar re-encountered Crystal when she returned to [[Mt. Mortar]]. It tormented her and Archy until her newly-evolved {{p|Bayleef}}, [[Megaree]], defeated it, allowing her to catch it and regain her shattered confidence from failing to catch {{DL|Legendary beasts (Adventures)|Suicune}} earlier.

In the [[Trick Master]]'s flashback in ''[[PS332|The Final Battle V]]'', a Larvitar was calmed down by the homeland soil.

A Larvitar appeared in ''[[PS442|Out-Odding Oddish]]'', under the ownership of a [[Pokéathlon]] participant.

A Trainer's Larvitar appeared in ''[[PS547|The Final Battle: Crushed Ambition]]''.

===Pokémon Gotta Catch 'Em All===

A Larvitar appeared in [[GDZ51]].

===Pokémon Pocket Monsters===

{{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} {{pkmn2|caught}} a Larvitar prior to ''[[PM104|The Great Helper!!]]''.

* {{TFG|Groundbreakers}}: {{TFG ID|Groundbreakers|Larvitar|16}}

* Larvitar's sprite animation changes between {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} and {{game|Platinum}}, but its static sprite does not change.

Larvitar appears to share similarities with {{wp|dinosaur}}s and {{wp|kaiju}}. Its penchant for eating mountains, fences, or probably anything else may also come from the legend of the {{wp|Tarasque}}.

Larvitar may be derived from ''{{wp|larva}}'' and ''{{wp|Tarasque}}''.

Yogiras may be a combination of 幼児 ''yōji'' (baby or child) or 幼生 ''yōsei'' (larva), 嫌い ''kirai'' (hated), and ソーラス ''-saurus'' (Greek-derived suffix for dinosaur names).
