Pokémon - 1 Card - Dark Blastoise No.009 Foil

The "Dark Blastoise" card from the old-style Pokémon TCG set is a highly sought-after card included in the "Team Rocket" expansion pack released in 1997.

Due to its powerful abilities and the popularity of Blastoise at the time, mint condition and PSA graded versions command particularly high prices (several thousand to tens of thousands of yen or more), making it highly valued among collectors.

Reasons for Popularity and Characteristics: Highly Rare "Old-Style" Card: One of the early cards sold from 1996 to 2001. Due to the passage of time since production ended, cards in good condition are rare.

"Team Rocket" Iconic Card: The popular Pokémon "Blastoise" is depicted in a dark design, appealing to collectors.

Powerful Special Abilities: Possesses practical moves such as "Shell Reversal" that were effective in the competitive environment at the time.
