Rocket's Sneak Attack Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
Rocket's Sneak Attack comes from Team Rocket, the April 24, 2000 expansion that introduced Dark Pokémon and the idea of secret cards to the English Pokémon TCG, making this Trainer part of one of the hobby’s most important vintage sets.
In-Game
Because Team Rocket debuted in Pokémon Red, Green, and Blue as the franchise’s original crime syndicate, this card feels like a direct translation of the games’ hand-in-the-cookie-jar villainy into TCG disruption.
Card History
For anime fans, Rocket's Sneak Attack taps into the same Team Rocket identity that Jessie, James, and Meowth made iconic on television, where their constant schemes turned the group into some of Pokémon’s most recognizable antagonists.
Artist
This card is illustrated by Ken Sugimori, the artist who created the original public-facing artwork for all 151 Generation I Pokémon, giving Rocket's Sneak Attack an especially authentic early-Pokémon feel.
Set Lore
Collectors love Team Rocket partly because it also produced Dark Raichu, the first secret rare in a main Pokémon TCG expansion, so even non-holo rares like Rocket's Sneak Attack are tied to a set with legendary chase-card history.
