Dark Gyarados Holo from the 2000 Team Rocket expansion (also released as “Pokémon Rocket”) exemplifies the set’s introduction of Dark (corrupted) Pokémon in the Pokémon TCG. Kagumaru Himeno’s illustration shows a fearsome, red-eyed Gyarados twisting through turbulent blue waters, with the holographic foil adding a shimmering effect across the background. This Stage 1 Water-type card has 70 HP and features a paralyzing Ice Beam (plus the “Final Beam” Pokémon Power), reflecting its strategic role in early Team Rocket decks and adding nostalgic play appeal. Unusually, the card bears a gold **PRERELEASE** foil stamp on the artwork – one of only four official Wizards of the Coast prerelease promos from Team Rocket’s launch. That rare stamp combined with the classic holo art makes this Dark Gyarados trading card a standout collectible for fans of the Pokémon TCG.
