Larvitar (ヨーギラス Yogiras in Japan, Larvitar in Germany and Embrylex in France) is a fictional character of the Pokémon franchise. It is a Rock-Ground Pokémon found in the Johto and Sevii Islands regions.

The name Larvitar probably comes from the words larva and tar.

Biology

According to the Pokédex, this Pokémon feeds on dirt, and it will not stop eating until it has eaten all the dirt on a mountain. Only then will it evolve.

Larvitar evolves into Pupitar at level 30, and then Tyranitar at level 55.

In the video games

Larvitar is a relativly uncommon Pokémon found in Mt. Silver in Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal. In FireRed and LeafGreen it is found extremely rarely in the Sevault Canyon on Seven Island. It can also be purchased in the Game Corner in Pokemon Crystal for 8888 coins.

Anime Appearances

In Pokémon: Master Quest, Ash Ketchum, en route to New Bark Town after winning all eight Johto League badges, is asked to deliver a Pokémon egg to Professor Elm. However, on the way, the egg hatches, and Larvitar was born. Soon afterwards, Professor Elm asks Ash and company to return Larvitar to its home in Mt. Silver before entering in the Silver Conference.

Initially, Larvitar was not open to anyone except Ash and Pikachu, who had saved its life (both from sickness and from Team Rocket's intention to steal it), performing either its Screech or Harden attacks on virtually everyone else, although eventually opening up to Misty's and Brock's Pokémon, and later Misty and Brock themselves. With the help of a sick and lost Unown, Ash and friends discover why Larvitar is distrustful of humans (abduction by a gang of Pokémon poachers as well as physical harm to its mother, Tyranitar), and also rectify this situation once they were on Mt. Silver.

Larvitar is currently happily reunited with its mother, and resides in Mt. Silver.
