Dark Dragonair [1st Edition] Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
Dark Dragonair is part of the landmark 2000 Team Rocket expansion, the set that introduced Dark Pokémon to the TCG and gave classic Kanto evolutions a more sinister Team Rocket identity.
Card History
What makes this uncommon especially memorable is its Pokémon Power, Evolutionary Light, which lets you search your deck for an Evolution card and gave Dark Dragonair real utility beyond being just a binder piece.
Artist
This card was illustrated by Kagemaru Himeno, one of the defining artists of the Wizards of the Coast era, giving Dark Dragonair the soft, storybook look that makes many early collectors instantly recognize her work.
Card History
Dragonair already carried a mystical reputation in the anime, where Ash's Pokédex describes it as a Pokémon able to make rain or snow fall, matching the eerie legendary flavor text printed on this card.
Set Lore
Dark Dragonair was later reprinted in Legendary Collection, but the 1st Edition Team Rocket copy is the original release that ties this card directly to the first wave of villain-themed Pokémon cards.
