Dark Golbat Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
Dark Golbat is one of the original Dark Pokémon from the 2000 Team Rocket expansion, the set that introduced the Dark mechanic and gave the TCG its first villain-themed identity.
Card History
Its Pokémon Power, Sneak Attack, was memorable enough that the concept was later revisited on Team Rocket’s Golbat in Destined Rivals, making this card the origin point for that ambush-style effect.
Artist
Dark Golbat was illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita, one of the Pokémon TCG’s founding artists who has contributed artwork since the game’s very beginning, which gives this holo extra appeal for collectors who chase iconic early Arita pieces.
Set Lore
As card #7 in Team Rocket, Dark Golbat sits near the front of one of the hobby’s most nostalgic Wizards of the Coast sets, a release famous for introducing Dark Pokémon and the era’s first secret rare, Dark Raichu.
In-Game
Golbat itself has deep Kanto roots in the video games, evolving from Zubat and fitting Team Rocket’s poison-heavy style so naturally that a Dark Golbat feels like a perfect match for the set’s criminal underworld theme.
