# Dark Gloom #36/82 — Team Rocket

## Summary

Dark Gloom is a Team Rocket uncommon, a mid-tier pull that was never anyone's chase slot, and its Pollen Stench coin-flip power was more gamble than strategy. Kagemaru Himeno illustrated much of the original Japanese run, and the Dark evolution line keeps Rocket-era completionists interested. The modelled guide sits at $5.01; no PSA population is on file, with original packs long past any pull-rate math.
