5 facts about this card
Dark Pupitar comes from EX Team Rocket Returns, the 2004 expansion that brought Dark Pokémon back into the spotlight and framed the whole set around Team Rocket’s comeback.
This card is one of two Dark Pupitar cards in EX Team Rocket Returns, giving collectors two different takes on Pupitar within the same set before the line reaches Dark Tyranitar.
Dark Pupitar is especially distinctive for Emi Miwa collectors, because Bulbapedia records that all four of her credited Pokémon TCG illustrations are Dark Pokémon from EX Team Rocket Returns.
Pupitar already had a strong anime identity by this card’s era, debuting under Ritchie’s ownership as “Cruise” and being described in Ash’s Pokédex as having a nearly indestructible shell with enough power to topple a mountain.
Dark Pupitar’s dual Fighting/Darkness card rule gives the cocoon-like Johto powerhouse a villainous Team Rocket twist, contrasting with the video-game Pupitar that is normally a Rock/Ground species known as the Hard Shell Pokémon.
