Rocket’s Zapdos is a rare holographic Pokémon TCG trading card from the 2021 Pokémon Celebrations Classic Collection, a set commemorating the Pokémon TCG’s 25th anniversary with nostalgic reprints of vintage cards. This card recreates the original Team Rocket–era Zapdos art by Shin-ichi Yoshida, showing the Electric-type Legendary Bird in bold yellow and black against a shimmering silver confetti holo background. It also bears the special Pikachu “25” anniversary stamp, underscoring its connection to the milestone celebration and adding retro collector appeal. In gameplay the card keeps its classic attacks (Plasma and Electroburn, with Electroburn doing up to 70 damage at the cost of recoil), capturing the feel of early TCG strategy even today. Originally released around 2000, this holo reprint is prized as a vintage trading card addition that links the classic Team Rocket expansion with the modern Celebrations era.
