Dark Ampharos [Reverse Holo] Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
Dark Ampharos stands out as one of the set’s signature early holos, and EX Team Rocket Returns gave it a sinister twist by making it both Lightning and Darkness type at once.
Set Lore
EX Team Rocket Returns launched in English on November 8, 2004 with the tagline "Back with a Vengeance!," making Dark Ampharos part of the ex-era revival of Team Rocket’s Dark Pokémon theme.
In-Game
Ampharos has long been tied to beacon imagery in the games, with multiple Pokédex entries describing its glowing tail as a signal light for lost people and even something visible from space, which makes Dark Ampharos feel like a corrupted version of one of Johto’s most iconic protectors.
Card History
For anime fans, Ampharos is best remembered as Jasmine’s lighthouse Pokémon in Olivine City, so Dark Ampharos carries extra punch because it twists a species famous for guiding ships to safety into a Team Rocket weapon.
Artist
This card was illustrated by Emi Miwa, and the official card record specifically lists Dark Ampharos as a holographic Miwa piece from EX Team Rocket Returns.
