# Dark Weezing #42/109 — Team Rocket Returns

## Summary

Dark Weezing is a mid-tier Uncommon from the Team Rocket Returns set, where the dark Pokémon theme made Rocket-flavored cards a draw by themselves. Mitsuhiro Arita is a name collectors seek out, and Methane Leak gave poison decks of its day an unusual tool. The modelled guide sits at $3.05, up 7% over 30 days on 8 copies traded, with 212 days of inventory on the board; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
