Dark Golbat Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Set Lore
Dark Golbat is part of the original Team Rocket expansion, the set that introduced Dark Pokémon to the TCG and gave collectors one of the hobby’s earliest villain-themed chase lineups.
Card History
This non-holo Dark Golbat is the rare counterpart to the holo Dark Golbat in the same Team Rocket set, giving collectors two distinct ways to own the same sinister Rocket-era artwork concept.
Artist
Dark Golbat was illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita, one of the foundational artists of the Pokémon TCG whose work stretches back to the game’s earliest cards and helped define how many Kanto Pokémon looked on cardboard.
Card History
Golbat has a strong anime connection through Koga, whose Golbat appeared in the original series, making this Rocket-branded version feel especially at home in the shady Kanto world of ninjas, Poison-types, and ambush tactics.
In-Game
The card’s flavor text echoes Golbat’s Pokédex identity as a predator that attacks from behind, and its Sneak Attack Pokémon Power turns that game lore into a surprise hit the moment you evolve it from your hand.
