How to Get Pupitar in "Diamond"
In "Pokémon Diamond," Pupitar, at first glance, is not a very threatening or imposing Pokémon. Pupitar looks like a pointy, gray cocoon with eyes. Trainers who battle it soon know the true power of Pupitar when it unleashes moves like Rock Slide and Dark Pulse. When a Larvitar evolves into its cocoon form, it turns into a Pupitar. Later, the cocoon opens, and the fearsome Tyranitar emerges. To get Pupitar, you must catch and then evolve a Larvitar with the help of your PokéRadar.
