This Dark Blastoise holo card (No.009★) comes from the 1997 Japanese Team Rocket expansion (ポケモンカードゲーム ロケット団). The artwork by Mitsuhiro Arito shows a menacing Blastoise firing its cannons against a cosmic, star-studded holo background, highlighting the unique style of the Trading Card Game’s early Dark Pokémon era. As a water-type stage-2 Pokémon, it boasts high-power moves like Hydro Cannon and Rocket Tackle, reflecting the high-risk, high-reward design of the Japanese Dark Pokémon series. Collectors and players prize this vintage Pokémon TCG trading card for its authentic nostalgia, striking foil pattern, and rarity within the classic Rocket set.
