From the 2000 Team Rocket expansion of the Pokémon TCG, Dark Alakazam – 1st Edition (#18/82) is a rare holofoil Psychic-type Stage 1 Pokémon card. Ken Sugimori’s art depicts Alakazam with a sinister glare, brandishing psychic spoons amid a swirling purple void, complemented by a shimmering holofoil background that highlights the card’s dark Psychic theme. The 1st Edition stamp and iconic Team Rocket “R” logo mark this card as a classic collectible from the set’s original release. Collectors prize its vintage charm and distinctive artwork, making Dark Alakazam a standout piece from the early era of Pokémon trading cards. In play, its Psychic-type attacks Teleport Blast and Mind Shock provided strategic flair in the Team Rocket era, adding an element of gameplay interest to this nostalgic card.
