Tyranitar is a large, bipedal, dinosaurian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a green, armor-like hide covering its body. It has two pairs of pointed teeth: one in the upper jaw and one in the lower. Several spikes of varying sizes protrude from the back of its head, neck, and shoulders. Both sides of its chest, the center of its back, and its knees have two triangular holes. There is a gray, diamond-shaped patch of scales covering its belly and a smaller one on its back. It has three claws on its feet and hands. A ring of spikes surrounds the tip of its tail.

Tyranitar is a powerful Pokémon with an insolent nature, uncaring of others. It is extremely strong, and its thick, rocky hide gives it good resistance to all forms of attack. Because of this, it is always looking for a battle and will not flinch at anything, though it ignores opponents that it thinks are not worth its time. Tyranitar's power is so devastating that it can forcefully crush anything using one of its hands. If enraged, Tyranitar sets off outstanding earthquakes that can completely change the entire landscape, destroying houses and mountains, and often forcing cartographers to draw up new maps. It lives in nests made from demolished {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountains}}. In the [[Galar]] [[region]], it has a fierce rivalry with {{p|Duraludon}}, which it shares its habitat with, often battling each other in the mountains.<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/duraludon/ Duraludon | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref> {{p|Iron Thorns}} is believed to be a relative of Tyranitar from one billion years in the future.

As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, Tyranitar sleeps with no fear thanks to this overwhelming power and strong body.<ref>''[[Pokémon Sleep|Sleep Style Dex]]''</ref> As it is not worried about surroundings even in its sleep, Tyranitar can be seen sleeping in an amazing sleeping position with its limbs open wide. As a result, Tyranitar is always looking for a battle and will not flinch at anything, though it ignores opponents that it thinks are not worth its time.
