Dark Golbat (24/82) from the Team Rocket expansion is a haunting and powerful Stage 1 Pokémon card that captures the sinister essence of Team Rocket's dark experiments. Evolving from Zubat, this Grass-type battler stands out with its eerie design and aggressive abilities, making it a sought-after piece for collectors and players alike. Illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita, Dark Golbat exudes a menacing presence, perfectly embodying the theme of corruption and stealth that defines the "Dark" Pokémon subset. With a base HP of 50, it may not be the most durable fighter, but its tactical advantages more than make up for its fragility.
One of Dark Golbat’s most notable features is its Pokémon Power: Sneak Attack, which activates the moment you play it from your hand. You can choose one of your opponent’s Pokémon and deal 10 damage immediately—before your turn even fully begins. This surprise strike can wear down key Pokémon over time or trigger effects that rely on damage counters. Its main attack, Flitter, deals 20 damage to a single opponent’s Pokémon without applying Weakness or Resistance, making it a reliable tool against heavily defended foes. With no retreat cost, Dark Golbat offers strategic mobility, allowing you to switch it out freely and maintain pressure on your opponent.
Originally released in April 2000 as part of the fifth Pokémon TCG expansion, the Team Rocket set introduced a darker narrative to the game, focusing on villainous plots and corrupted Pokémon. Dark Golbat is a standout from this era, available in both 1st Edition and Unlimited prints, with the 1st Edition version being especially prized by collectors. Whether you're building a retro-themed deck or expanding your vintage Pokémon card collection, Dark Golbat (24/82) is a chilling and valuable addition that represents a pivotal chapter in Pokémon TCG history.
