The Team Rocket set and the significance of Dark Gyarados
The Team Rocket set, released by Wizards of the Coast in 2000, introduced several of the most sought-after Pokémon cards from the WOTC era. Dark Gyarados (card number 8/82) is a Stage 1 Water-type holo rare illustrated by Kagemaru Himeno. The card stands out for its distinctive artwork and was one of the most popular chase cards in the set, in 1st Edition, Unlimited and Prerelease variants.
