Dark Dragonite Card Facts & History
4 facts about this card
Card History
Dark Dragonite stands out as one of Team Rocket’s most memorable Stage 2 cards because its Summon Minions Pokémon Power could flood your Bench the moment you evolved it, giving this villain-themed Dragonite a uniquely commanding feel in early competitive play.
Set Lore
This card comes from Team Rocket, the expansion that introduced Dark Pokémon to the TCG, making Dark Dragonite part of the very first wave of cards to show how Team Rocket’s influence could twist familiar Pokémon into more aggressive forms.
Artist
Dark Dragonite was illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita, one of the original Pokémon TCG artists who has worked on the game since its inception and has said that early cards like Base Set Pikachu and Charizard had a major impact on his career.
In-Game
The card’s flavor text leans into Dragonite’s more fearsome game-era mythology by calling it 'The God of Destruction,' a dramatic contrast to the kinder heroic image Dragonite later developed in much of the wider franchise.
