Abra 49/82 Pokémon Team Rocket Raw

Abra (49/82) from the Team Rocket expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game is a nostalgic and collectible Psychic-type Basic Pokémon card that captures a pivotal era in TCG history. Released in April 2000 as part of the fifth Pokémon set, this card features the mischievous and elusive Abra, known for its ability to teleport away from danger—making it as hard to catch in the wild as it is to find in top condition today. Illustrated by Sumiyoshi Kizuki, the artwork showcases Abra in its classic meditative pose, exuding calm before vanishing into thin air. As a Common card in the 1st Edition print run, it holds special appeal for collectors who appreciate early Pokémon sets and the unique dark theme of the Team Rocket expansion.

This raw (ungraded) Abra card offers fans and collectors a chance to own a piece of Pokémon TCG history in its original form. With a Hit Point value of 40, Weakness to Fighting-type Pokémon (×2), and a single Colorless retreat cost, Abra may be low on the battlefield, but its abilities add strategic flair. Its first attack, "Vanish," allows the player to shuffle it back into the deck, discarding all attached cards—a tactical retreat that mirrors its in-game behavior. The second attack, "Psyshock," deals 10 damage and has a chance to paralyze the defending Pokémon, adding an element of unpredictability. Though not a powerhouse, Abra’s charm and utility in early-game strategies make it a memorable inclusion in any vintage-themed deck or collection.
