Here Comes Team Rocket [1st Edition] Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
This card is one of the few WotC-era Trainer cards that was printed in Team Rocket as both a Holofoil and a Non Holofoil, giving collectors two classic chase versions of the same effect.
Artist
Here Comes Team Rocket! was illustrated by Ken Sugimori, the original Pokémon character designer, which gives the card an especially authentic late-90s franchise feel for vintage collectors.
Set Lore
The Team Rocket expansion was the first Pokémon TCG set to introduce Dark Pokémon and secret cards, making this Trainer part of one of the most important turning points in early TCG history.
In-Game
Because the Team Rocket set is based on Pokémon Red, Blue, and Green and centers on Team Rocket, this card ties directly to the criminal organization that defined Kanto’s villain arc in the original games.
Cultural Impact
This card’s theme taps into Team Rocket’s huge pop-culture footprint, since the organization became one of the franchise’s most recognizable villain groups through the games and the long-running anime.
