This first edition Rocket’s Zapdos is a rare holographic card from the 2000 Pokémon Gym Challenge expansion (card 15/132). The Shin-ichi Yoshida artwork shows a dynamic Zapdos unleashing lightning in a dark stormy sky, with a vivid blue star-pattern holo foil that catches the eye. As a Team Rocket variant, it carries nostalgic appeal and was even a key attacker in classic Lightning “Haymaker” decks of its era. Collectors prize this Gym Challenge Pokémon TCG trading card for its striking artwork, vintage play history, and status as an original 1st Edition holo rare.
