Dark Arbok Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Set Lore
Dark Arbok is part of the original Team Rocket expansion, the landmark set that introduced Dark Pokémon to the TCG and gave collectors one of the hobby’s first true villain-themed chase experiences.
Card History
This specific Dark Arbok card is famous for more than its holofoil—both the holo and non-holo prints carry the notorious '23000' copyright-date error, making it a memorable oddity from the Wizards era.
In-Game
Dark Arbok’s attack Stare feels especially on-brand because Arbok’s game lore repeatedly describes it freezing or intimidating prey with its frightening markings and gaze before striking.
Card History
For anime fans, Arbok is inseparable from Team Rocket’s image because Jessie’s Arbok became one of the trio’s signature Pokémon and helped define their menace throughout the original series.
Artist
Dark Arbok was illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita, one of the Pokémon TCG’s original foundational artists who has worked on the game since its inception, giving this card instant pedigree for art-focused collectors.
