Dark Dragonite Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
Dark Dragonite is one of the signature holo rares of Team Rocket, the landmark expansion that introduced Dark Pokémon to the TCG and gave the game its first villain-themed twist.
Set Lore
This card also has a famous corrected variant: some copies of Dark Dragonite #5 were printed missing the holofoil layer, making it one of the most talked-about error cards tied to the original Team Rocket set.
Card History
Dragonite already carried mystery and awe when this card released, because its earliest anime spotlight was the giant Dragonite in "Mystery at the Lighthouse," one of the Indigo League’s most unforgettable creature reveals.
In-Game
Dark Dragonite feels especially iconic to early fans because Dragonite was one of the rare fully evolved Dragon-type Pokémon from Generation I, giving this corrupted Team Rocket version extra weight in the Red and Blue era.
Artist
Mitsuhiro Arita’s name adds instant collector prestige here, since he is one of the foundational artists of the Pokémon TCG and is widely celebrated for creating some of the hobby’s most enduring vintage-era imagery.
