The Rocket's Trap [1st Edition] Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
The Rocket's Trap is one of Gym Heroes' holo Trainer cards, a standout oddity in a set better known for Gym Leader Pokémon because its effect attacks the opponent's hand instead of the board.
In-Game
Bulbapedia notes the artwork features a female Team Rocket Grunt from the Generation II games, giving this card a direct visual link to the era when Team Rocket returned in Pokémon Gold and Silver.
Artist
This card was illustrated by Ken Sugimori, the signature Pokémon artist whose name gives WotC-era cards an unmistakable 'official artbook' feel that collectors still chase today.
Set Lore
Gym Heroes released in English on August 14, 2000 and was the first expansion to introduce Owner's Pokémon and Stadium cards, which makes a Rocket-themed holo Trainer like this feel especially distinctive inside the set.
Cultural Impact
Gym Heroes was released in English in both 1st Edition and Unlimited, so a 1st Edition holo copy of The Rocket's Trap carries the extra nostalgia of the black-stamped early-print WotC era that many collectors consider peak vintage Pokémon.
