Goop Gas Attack 78/82 Pokémon Team Rocket Raw

Goop Gas Attack is a sought-after Trainer card from the iconic Team Rocket expansion, released in April 2000 as the fifth set in the Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG). As card #78 out of 82 in the 1st Edition and Unlimited print runs, this Common card features striking artwork by Sumiyoshi Kizuki and bears the unmistakable theme of villainy and sabotage associated with Team Rocket’s nefarious schemes. With its Japanese name "まきちらせ!ベトベトガス" (Spread! Sticky Gas), the card captures the chaotic and mischievous spirit of the franchise’s most infamous gang. Its vintage appeal and connection to a pivotal early set make it a popular target for collectors and fans of Pokémon TCG history.

The card’s gameplay effect is both simple and disruptive: “All Pokémon Powers stop working until the end of your opponent's next turn.” This ability can dramatically shift the momentum of a match by neutralizing key abilities that rely on Pokémon Powers, making it a tactical tool in competitive play during its era. While not a high-rarity card, its utility and thematic resonance have ensured its lasting presence in the memories of longtime players. As part of the Team Rocket set—known for introducing Dark-type Pokémon like Dark Blastoise and Dark Raichu—Goop Gas Attack contributes to the darker, edgier tone that distinguished this expansion from earlier base sets.

In raw, ungraded condition, Goop Gas Attack offers an accessible entry point for collectors aiming to complete a full Team Rocket set or showcase vintage Pokémon TCG memorabilia. Cards in Near Mint or better condition, especially those from the 1st Edition run, hold greater value and are prized for their historical significance and scarcity. Whether used in nostalgic gameplay, displayed as part of a curated collection, or traded among enthusiasts, Goop Gas Attack remains a nostalgic symbol of the early days of the Pokémon TCG.
