Chapter 233 Tyranitar's Evolution Chain Revealed for the First Time! The Incarnation of Sandsto
Chapter 233 Tyranitar's Evolution Chain Revealed for the First Time! The Incarnation of Sandstorms? This thing can evolve again?!
At this moment, Ye Yinchuan and the audience, especially everyone present, held their breath.
The ground shook, and the soil surged.
No one knows what kind of Pokémon will appear underground.
"Could it be Tyranitar? It shouldn't be... If Tyranitar were hiding underground and then emerged, at least a whole area of people and things would be blown away, not just this little commotion!"
Ye Yinchuan secretly made a guess.
Bang!
With a loud bang, an oval-shaped object, full of spikes and ridges, burst out of the ground and landed heavily beside Young Gilas, creating a large crater and kicking up dust.
It has a grayish-blue hard shell, shaped like a pupa, with four holes on it. The two larger holes reveal large eyes with red pupils.
The two smaller ones at the top are triangular in shape, and they look like the Pokémon's eyebrows.
This is the evolved form of Larvitar.
"It's Shakiras."
Ye Yinchuan spoke up, telling everyone that this was the Shakiras he had just mentioned.
[Holy crap! This Shakiras is like a cannonball! It must be over a meter tall!]
[Hiss... The streamer is comparing it to a Metapod, but it doesn't look right at all. Metapods are so small, this thing looks like a monster's pupa!]
[As expected of a creature destined to evolve into Sandstorm Dragon, just one touch felt like it deafened me!]
Meanwhile, the people on the other end of the liaison were also stunned by the power displayed by Shakiras.
They all stepped back, their eyes filled with apprehension; the Pokémon were also on high alert.
At this moment, the young Kiras snuggled up to Shakiras, showing his affection like a little bird seeking shelter, appearing completely harmless.
But those who knew that this thing could evolve into Shakiras, or even Tyranitar, already knew its power and terror, and dared not underestimate it in any way.
Shakiras's eyes were filled with warning, as well as a desire to step forward and protect Young Shakiras.
Having heard the thoughts of the two Pokémon, Ye Yinchuan knew what was going on:
"This Shakiras is probably the older brother of the baby Shakiras. They were left in this area by their parents and grew by eating dirt. The Shakiras stored up enough nutrients first, so it evolved first, but it didn't evolve for very long..."
[Dude, how could you even tell that?]
[Fine, fine, you've seen right through their household registration, haven't you?]
"Then tell me, is this baby Kira male or female?"
"They are female, and they are siblings."
Ye Yinchuan replied casually,
"Now, don't make any rash moves or show any hostility. Just retreat slowly and leave the rest to the Pokémon Center."
Ye Yinchuan believed that even though the Pokémon centers in different regions had varying levels of expertise, they were definitely more professional in Pokémon matters than these construction teams.
[Looks like the streamer never exaggerates. He just mentioned that between Larvitar and Tyranitar there's another one called Shakiras, and here it is...]
[Sigh, if someone can tame either of these two Pokémon, wouldn't that mean they've tamed a future Tyranitar?]
[This is a monster of destruction, who can tame it? Even if you manage to tame it now, who knows if it will suddenly betray you after evolving into Tyranitar?]
[Don't forget that dominant Charizard, which pretended to be tamed, enjoyed abundant resources, evolved into Charizard, then turned on you, wreaked havoc, and flew away... Tyranitar is a much more ferocious Pokémon than Charizard!]
The comments section was buzzing with discussion.
The construction team members were still shaken.
"Host, how strong is that Shakiras? With so many of us and our Pokémon, can we handle it?"
Ye Yinchuan answered the interviewer's questions truthfully:
"We can fight, but there will definitely be casualties. Shakiras is much weaker than Tyranitar, but its defense is incredible and its destructive power is not to be underestimated... Apart from that Machamp, your Pokémon don't have any advantages."
The key is... if you really piss someone off and they call their parents, forget about you guys, even if you gather all the trainers in the neighborhood, you probably still won't be able to handle it. Disaster Pokémon, we don't play games with you guys!
Speaking of this, Ye Yinchuan also thought of it. In the game, Tyranitar actually has quite a few weaknesses, especially being countered by Fighting-types...
The problem is that in the real world, the relationship of restraint is not that simple, and Tyranitar seems to have been greatly strengthened, so ordinary Fighting-types are probably no match for it.
We need to find someone with real strength to fight back.
At least a legendary Pokémon like Urshifu would be qualified; a regular Machamp wouldn't be enough.
[Host, Tyranitar is a Dragon-type, right? This time we discovered Larvitar and Sandgill; it feels like this is the first time such an evolutionary chain for Pokémon has been publicly revealed!]
It's hard to imagine just how powerful the research institute behind the streamer is; it must be at least world-class, right?
Don't forget, the information released by the Pokémon Association includes live stream videos from popular streamers as a reference.
Although the streamer is moving away from Young Kylas and Shakyas until they are out of sight, the discussion about them in the chat is far from over.
"You're mistaken. Although many people call Tyranitar the Sandstorm Green Dragon, it is not actually a dragon."
"Both Larvitar and Tyranitar are Ground/Rock type, but after evolving into Tyranitar, they become Dark/Rock type."
What? Tyranitar isn't a dragon?
[Wait... the first two forms are ground and rock, but the final evolved form has no ground anymore, how do you explain that?]
Ye Yinchuan addressed each of the questions raised in the live chat.
"Tyranitar, although it can master some Dragon-type moves and even has an appearance that is somewhat related to the Dragon type... its Dragon-type genes are still somewhat diluted and not enough to form its inherent attributes."
"On the contrary, the Rock and Dark types are more prominent."
If Ye Yinchuan remembers correctly, Tyranitar should be the only Pokémon with the Rock and Dark type combination. In other words, apart from it, there is no other Pokémon with this type.
"As for why the attributes change after evolution, this is actually not uncommon in Pokémon..."
My personal understanding is that Tyranitar still retains some Ground-type traits, but its Dark-type typing still has the upper hand...
As for why this is the case, it has to do with the habits of young Gilas and sand Gilas. Young Gilas, in particular, will hide underground before they get enough nutrition. In order to adapt to such a living environment, their ground attributes will inevitably take the lead.
As for Shakiras, they have already begun to be active on the ground, but evolution is a process, and it is impossible to abandon the ground attributes left by the young Shakiras all at once...
However, even in the time of Shakiras, the Dark-type genes had already begun to brew and spread. When they reached a point where they overwhelmed the Ground-type genes, they would naturally evolve into Tyranitar!
[It sounds a bit complicated, but if the streamer says so, is the Dark-type gene the key to Shakiras' evolution into Tyranitar?]
[Dark type... While some moves seem useful, it doesn't feel like there are any particularly powerful moves?]
Ye Yinchuan also seized the opportunity to explain the evolution of Bankiras and some related situations.
"It's very difficult for Shakiras to evolve into Tyranitar, theoretically no less difficult than the evolution of Shellaur into Salamence. In essence, their evolution is also somewhat similar. However, the level required for Shakiras to evolve into Tyranitar may be even higher than that for Salamence."
The Dark-type gene, or rather, the mastery of Dark-type energy, is certainly an important influencing factor, but not the whole story; I can't say for sure what the specifics are.
"Dark-type moves certainly don't have the same sheer power as high-power moves, but they often come with special effects. However, if you're looking for high power, I know of a move called 'Rage,' which increases power by releasing emotional frustration, up to double... roughly 150 points of power!"
[A move with 150 power points—it's practically a guaranteed kill!]
Judging from the streamer's words, the conditions for achieving maximum power must be quite demanding, otherwise it would be invincible!
[It's estimated that not many Pokémon can learn this move, or that it's very difficult to master!]
Ye Yinchuan looked at the comments and nodded.
In the game, many Pokémon can learn the move "Rage," but it seems that they can only learn it through TMs, which means that it cannot be learned naturally by leveling up.
In the game, the effect is that when the ability is reduced, it can exert double the effect.
In reality, it becomes linked to emotions, which is quite different.
In any case, a move with a power of 150, once it can be used in actual combat, can only be described as terrifying... It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a powerful Dark-type move, would it?
Who says evil has no ultimate moves?
[Hey streamer, can we talk about Bangalore? Some of the video clips online are really cool, but I always feel like it's not enough, like there's something left to say, and it's really getting on my nerves, you know?]
Please, Kirby, just chat for a little while!
Seeing the overwhelming enthusiasm of the comments, Ye Yinchuan could only pull out some video clips of Bangiras and explain them.
"You see, wherever Tyranitar appears, a sandstorm rises up. This is Tyranitar's ability, 'Sandstorm.' This powerful sandstorm alone is something that most creatures cannot withstand. If it's not a Rock, Ground, or Steel-type Pokémon, its movement will definitely be restricted in the sandstorm environment..."
For this reason, in some places, Bangila is regarded as the embodiment of sandstorms and considered a divine beast.
[Sandstorms? It seems sand hippos and hippopotamus beasts also have this characteristic, but the difference seems quite significant! A sandstorm caused by a Bangalore, with the sky darkened and the sun and moon obscured, that's a real sandstorm!]
Ye Yinchuan nodded. Some Pokémon have the same characteristics, but due to differences in their strength, level, and the degree to which they unlock their characteristics, the effects they exhibit are vastly different.
It might be the same in a game, but in this real world...
Bangalore stirs up a sandstorm, like a sand hippopotamus, it really stirs up dust...
"Look closely, the diamond-shaped area on Tyranitar's abdomen is the exact same color as Shakiras. This proves that Tyranitar evolved from Shakiras. If you stare at Tyranitar's body, you can almost see Shakiras's face..."
A flawless version after careful inspection!
[Wow, really?!]
[I never noticed before unless the host mentioned it.]
"Actually, the limbs inside the shell of the Tyranitar are already developing and growing... I believe you have also looked up a lot of eyewitness accounts of Tyranitar, such as the one in the video, and this one, their sizes are obviously quite different..."
Regarding these individual differences, I have good reason to suspect that they are largely related to their development during their Shakiras stage...
If a Tyranitar, under some pressure or due to insufficient potential, evolves prematurely and hatches into a Tyranitar, then no matter how much it develops afterward, it will be difficult for it to achieve a significant increase in size...
As we all know, insects undergo metamorphosis by pupating; only during the pupa stage can their life form undergo its greatest transformation... Once they emerge from the pupa, the opportunity is missed!
[The streamer's perspective is so unique! Amazing!]
[Interesting. So if you want to raise a powerful Tyranitar, you must pay attention to its development during the Shakira stage...]
Although it may seem like a bit redundant, being able to organize this thought process is truly crucial!
"Hey buddy, you guys are even discussing how good the working Kiras are? Give me the smallest one, and I'm sure I could become a regional champion!"
"Um……"
Ye Yinchuan estimated that, given the rarity and power of Tyranitar in this world, most people in the live stream would probably never have the chance to raise one in their lifetime.
But he was different.
If I become a professional trainer in the future and venture into the wild, I will definitely try to get my hands on any baby Gilas I encounter.
That guy is really handsome.
Although Tyranitar shares some similarities in appearance and attributes with its own final evolution, Aggron...
But in reality, they are quite different.
After all, one is a vicious rock, and the other is a steel rock.
As for their designs, it's fair to say that ugly Pokémon come in all sorts of bizarre ways, each ugly in its own unique way, but handsome Pokémon tend to have some things in common.
As for whether he could raise it or not, and the question of his own Pokémon's role, Ye Yinchuan wasn't too worried. After all, even if he had the chance to raise a baby Gigantosh, that would be a long time from now.
Currently, even Ye Yinchuan is not confident that he can raise a Tyranitar well.
That thing needs to consume a mountain or a considerable amount of soil and rocks just to evolve from Larvitar to Sandgiras. In the game, Sandgiras needs to be level 55 to evolve...
In reality, Ye Yinchuan had just used the True Knowledge Compendium to learn that the level requirements were the same, but there were some additional requirements, making it quite difficult, but that wasn't something he should be considering right now.
Thinking of this, Ye Yinchuan didn't forget to touch Acodra with his left hand and Rowlet with his right. These two Pokémon were still at their cutest stage, and he had to cherish them!
Like Larva, this is when they're at their cutest~
There is an even more crucial issue regarding raising baby Gilas: even if you can tame one and want to keep it, the Pokémon Center and similar organizations may not agree.
There will certainly be very strict qualifications and assessment requirements.
"Is that enough, family?"
Ye Yinchuan had said everything he could about Bangiras, and at this point he also seemed to be planning to end the call.
The remaining situation on the contact's side can be handled by the Pokémon Center.
[Host, I have one more small question. Tyranitar also has black holes on his body. Do you think that could be Tyranitar's weakness?]
Why is Tyranitar so evil? I think it not only destroys our human buildings, but it also raids the habitats of other Pokémon. It's like it was born without a mother to teach it!
Ye Yinchuan was at a loss for words when faced with these two questions.
But the first question, you know, when you think about it carefully, is actually quite interesting.
In the original work, there was no detailed explanation, so Ye Yinchuan could only obtain the relevant information by cheating through the True Knowledge Encyclopedia.
"Yes, the holes on Tyranitar's body can indeed be understood as its weakness, but not entirely. Tyranitar's energy is released from the holes, just like Shakiras, which ejects the compressed air from its body, and the holes are the outlets."
If you can seize the opportunity, it becomes a weakness; but if you miss the opportunity… it can be one of Tyranitar's most deadly weapons!
"Furthermore, compared to other parts, the location of the hole in Tyranitar is more vulnerable... A strong blow to it might cause considerable damage..."
Ye Yinchuan thought to himself, "Perhaps this is why Tyranitar is four times weaker in melee combat."
In addition, Bangalore is afraid of the ground, insects, water, steel, grass, fairies... and seems to have some inexplicable connection with holes.
For example, the ground is made of soil, which can seal the holes in Tyranitar's body. Insects, water, fairies, and grass can all crawl into the holes and cause damage...
As for steel... it can also be understood as steel being able to transform into a sharp blade and pierce through holes?
It's uncertain; these are just some of Ye Yinchuan's wild ideas. Even the True Knowledge Compendium hasn't reacted to them yet.
Perhaps only by actually meeting Bangiras will we have the opportunity to use our influence points to make more corrections and gather more intelligence!
"Thank you, streamer. We'll be at the Pokémon Center soon, so I won't bother you any longer!"
"Yes, thank you so much for providing the material for my live stream... Thank you for the gift, Lao Fang, you're too kind!"
The connection ended quickly.
In fact, Ye Yinchuan had just sensed from the telepathic voices of Young Giras and Shagiras that their parents might not return for the time being...
But there's no need for him to elaborate on these points.
After all, it's hard to explain, and even if Bangilas doesn't come back anytime soon, working here is a huge hidden danger. What if he suddenly comes back one day? Wouldn't the whole area be in trouble?
Handing it over to the Pokémon Center for management, or even sealing off the area, is the best course of action.
"Oh, right, there's something else I forgot to mention about Tyranitar. I once read in an ancient text that Tyranitar might be able to evolve further."
Ye Yinchuan's words caused a great stir.
The viewers in the live stream were shocked by this statement.
[Wait, streamer? Tyranitar is already overpowered enough, and it can even evolve? How are we supposed to survive?]
[It's unimaginable how powerful Tyranitar would become if it evolved further, and how devastating the disaster it would cause if it went out of control!]
"Hey, don't worry, I've only read about it in ancient books, but it is indeed very terrifying. It can become even more violent, and I don't need to elaborate on its destructive power..."
But I can tell you, that kind of evolution, like Alakazam on that island, is most likely just a temporary evolution caused by special energy. Once the energy is depleted, it will revert to its original form.
What Ye Yinchuan was referring to was naturally Tyranitar's super evolution.
He couldn't help but think of the appearance and strength of Super Tyranitar, as well as its description in the Pokédex...
That thing has a base stat total of 700; if it were in a game, it would be comparable to a legendary Pokémon!
In this world, even legendary Pokémon receive epic-level upgrades, so even if Tyranitar Mega Evolves, it's probably still not quite there yet!
At most, it might manage to bluff a level 2 god, but against a level 1 god like Ho-Oh, it would most likely be crushed!
Ye Yinchuan continued searching for his next contact.
@BearBig:
[Hello, my friend and I both have Zigzagoon pets that seem to be evolving... but mine seems a bit off, it's emitting black smoke all over. What's going on? Can you take a look? By the way, my Zigzagoon is a different color, I've always suspected it's a mutation!]
