Dark Flareon (35/82) from the Team Rocket expansion is a striking Uncommon Stage 1 Pokémon card that captures the sinister essence of the infamous villainous organization. As a Fire-type Pokémon, this corrupted evolution of Eevee bears dark, shadowy flames and an intense, menacing gaze that sets it apart from its standard counterpart. First released in April 2000 as part of the 5th expansion in the Pokémon TCG, Team Rocket introduced a darker narrative to the game, and Dark Flareon stands as a powerful symbol of that shift. With 50 HP and a single-colorless retreat cost, it serves as a mid-tier attacker that can be easily supported in deck builds focused on Fire-type synergy and aggressive playstyles.
The card features two notable attacks: Rage, which deals 10+ damage increasing with each damage counter on Dark Flareon, making it more dangerous as the battle wears on, and Playing with Fire, a stronger 30+ damage attack that requires Fire Energy. The latter has a coin flip mechanic—if heads, you discard one Fire Energy for a total of 50 damage, adding a layer of risk and reward. This blend of escalating damage and conditional power makes Dark Flareon a tactically interesting choice for collectors and players alike. Its weakness to Water-type Pokémon (×2) balances its abilities, staying true to the Fire-type’s classic vulnerability.
As a raw, ungraded card from the Team Rocket set, Dark Flareon (35/82) holds nostalgic value and collectible appeal, especially in 1st Edition prints which are highly sought after. The artwork, illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita, showcases a dramatic, high-contrast design that emphasizes the “Dark” theme with smoky, corrupted energy surrounding the Pokémon. Whether used in vintage gameplay, traded among collectors, or preserved as part of a complete set, Dark Flareon remains a memorable piece of Pokémon TCG history. Its presence in the Team Rocket lineup, alongside other Dark Pokémon like Dark Blastoise and Dark Raichu, makes it a key component for fans of the era.
