# Rocket's Entei ex #97/109 — Team Rocket Returns

## Summary

Rocket's Entei ex sits in the Team Rocket Returns run of Darkness-converted legendaries, a Johto beast with a devoted following wearing the villain team's colours, which is exactly the crossover Gen II collectors hunt. Ryo Ueda handled the art, and the ex tag kept it relevant to players. The modelled guide sits at $120; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
