Description
As card number 36 in this set, this uncommon reverse holo variant captures the menacing aesthetic that defined the Team Rocket Returns era. For enthusiasts of the Pokémon TCG, Dark Gyarados remains a staple in many decks due to its unique abilities. The card features the Dark Scale ability, which punishes opponents who knock it out by placing damage counters on their attacker, adding a layer of tactical depth to gameplay. With its 80 HP and attacks like Water Streak, it provides both offensive power and defensive utility. The reverse holo finish enhances its visual appeal, making it a desirable addition to any set builder's collection. Whether you are looking to complete the Team Rocket Returns subset or simply add a powerful Pokémon to your roster, this card represents a key piece of early 2000s TCG history.
