Dark Dugtrio Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
Dark Dugtrio is one of the original Dark Pokémon from the Team Rocket expansion, the fifth English Pokémon TCG set released on April 24, 2000, which introduced the villain-themed Dark Pokémon concept to collectors.
Card History
This specific Team Rocket print was released in both Holofoil and Non Holofoil versions, giving Dark Dugtrio an unusual dual identity that vintage set builders still pay attention to.
Card History
Dark Dugtrio’s Pokémon Power, Sinkhole, made retreating dangerous for the opponent, which helped give Team Rocket cards their reputation for disruptive, tricky play patterns instead of straightforward damage racing.
Artist
The card was illustrated by Kagemaru Himeno, one of the most recognizable early Pokémon TCG artists, whose watercolor style has appeared on cards since the Jungle expansion and remained a signature of vintage-era collecting.
Set Lore
Dark Dugtrio fits the Team Rocket set’s larger story perfectly, because the expansion was built around Team Rocket’s corrupted Dark Pokémon and marked a major tonal shift from the brighter feel of the earliest sets.
