# Dark Charmeleon #32/82 — Team Rocket

## Summary

Dark Charmeleon is a mid-tier Team Rocket pull, the uncommon slot where the set's "Dark" evolutions lived. Charizard's line keeps Gen I loyalists hunting every printing, and Kagemaru Himeno is among the original Wizards-era illustrators, so completionists treat his Rocket work as part of the set's identity. The modelled guide sits at $9.58, up 6% over 30 days on 87 copies traded, with 2,152 days of inventory sitting on the board; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it, with original packs long past any pull-rate math.
