This holographic Dark Blastoise card is a Stage 2 Water-type Pokémon (70 HP) from the 2000 Team Rocket expansion of the Pokémon TCG. Mitsuhiro Arita’s art depicts a fierce Blastoise with its cannons raised against the set’s signature swirling blue holo background and starburst pattern. As a rare holo collectible (star symbol, #3/82) featuring the Team Rocket “R” emblem, it perfectly embodies the set’s late-’90s dark Pokémon theme. Collectors and players alike value this vintage trading card for its nostalgic Wizards-era design and striking foil art — Dark Blastoise was one of the first official “Dark” variants of Blastoise, making it a standout classic in Pokémon TCG history.
