Dark Golbat [1st Edition] Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
Dark Golbat stands in the original Team Rocket holo lineup at #7/82, making it part of the first Pokémon TCG expansion to introduce Dark Pokémon as corrupted, villain-themed versions of familiar Kanto species.
Set Lore
Because Team Rocket released in the United States on April 24, 2000, a 1st Edition Dark Golbat is tied directly to one of the most nostalgic early Wizards of the Coast-era releases and the debut wave of Dark Pokémon cards.
Card History
Its Sneak Attack Pokémon Power captures the ambush style of Team Rocket perfectly, letting Dark Golbat damage an opponent's Pokémon the moment you play it from your hand before it even starts attacking.
In-Game
Dark Golbat’s predatory flavor is faithful to Golbat’s game lore, where Pokédex entries describe it striking from darkness, biting prey with sharp fangs, and draining blood in a single attack.
Artist
The card’s artwork comes from Mitsuhiro Arita, one of the foundational visual architects of the Pokémon TCG who helped shape the look of the original era from the very beginning.
