Dark Arbok 2/82 Cosmos Holo Pokémon Team Rocket Raw

Dark Arbok (2/82) from the Team Rocket expansion is a striking Stage 1 Pokémon card that stands out in the early Pokémon Trading Card Game era. As a Grass-type evolution of Ekans, this version features the ominous "Dark" prefix, signifying its association with the villainous Team Rocket faction. Illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita, the card showcases a menacing Arbok with glowing eyes and a sinister aura, capturing the dark theme of the set. With a modest 60 HP and a retreat cost of two Colorless energies, it's designed more for strategic disruption than raw power.

.The card’s abilities, "Stare" and "Poison Vapor," reflect its sinister nature. "Stare" allows the player to disable an opponent’s Pokémon Power until the end of their next turn, making it a potent tactical tool against ability-reliant decks. "Poison Vapor" deals 10 damage to the defending Pokémon and poisons it, while also spreading 10 damage (without Weakness or Resistance applied) to each of the opponent’s Benched Pokémon, enabling field-wide pressure. These effects make Dark Arbok a disruptive force, especially in the early game or in formats where low-HP Pokémon and abilities dominate..

The Cosmos Holo version of this card features a shimmering, starry foil pattern across the artwork, adding significant visual appeal and collectible value. As part of the highly sought-after 1st Edition Team Rocket set, the Cosmos Holo Rare variant is prized by collectors for its rarity and nostalgic significance. In raw (ungraded) condition, its market value fluctuates based on wear, but even in average condition, it remains a coveted piece for fans of vintage Pokémon TCG. Whether used in a retro-themed deck or displayed in a collection, Dark Arbok (2/82) Cosmos Holo is a memorable relic from the TCG’s darker chapters.
