About this set:
Released 25 years ago the Team Rocket expansion introduced the ‘Dark’ Pokémon, Pokémon that had been raised quickly and harshly by the members of Team Rocket. The set was the first to feature the main antagonists of the game, Jessie and James and features one of the most iconic cards of all time, Dark Charizard. The set is also noted as being the very first set to feature a 'secret' rare card, a card numbered after the main set - the Dark Raichu.
