Dark Raichu [1st Edition] Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
Dark Raichu is one of the most historic pulls in the hobby because card #83/82 made it the first true secret rare ever inserted into a Pokémon TCG expansion.
Set Lore
This card was created especially for the English Team Rocket set by Wizards of the Coast, giving collectors a rare WotC-era card that actually debuted internationally before Japan got its own print.
Set Lore
Team Rocket introduced Dark Pokémon to the TCG, and Dark Raichu stands out as the electric mascot of that mechanic with the set’s signature “corrupted” Rocket-era look.
Card History
Collectors love that early-print quirk on Dark Raichu because its evolution text says “Put Raichu on the Basic Pokémon” instead of “Put Dark Raichu,” a famous wording error later corrected in Legendary Collection.
Artist
Illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita, Dark Raichu pairs one of Pokémon’s most celebrated original card artists with one of the boldest WotC-era chase cards ever printed.
