Background / History
Zhou Cheng summons Tyranitar in the Hidden Leaf after drawing it from his Pokémon summoning scroll. Tyranitar initially wants its freedom and accepts Zhou Cheng’s wager: if it can hurt him, it may leave; otherwise, it will become his partner. Its Rock Slide and Hyper Beam leave Zhou Cheng unharmed. Tyranitar reluctantly accepts the result, then responds to Zhou Cheng’s promise that he may help it evolve again 47 48.
Zhou Cheng subsequently calls on Tyranitar against Danzo, during the confrontation between the Uchiha Clan and village leadership, and against Black Zetsu. After receiving ten Rare Candies, Tyranitar’s increased power draws the attention of nearby Anbu and becomes central to Zhou Cheng’s standoff with the Hidden Leaf advisors 56 57 83 91 131 132 161.
