# Dark Rapidash #44/82 — Team Rocket

## Summary

Dark Rapidash is a mid-tier Team Rocket pull, the uncommon slot that fills out a Dark Pokémon run without ever being the reason anyone opens a pack. Kagemaru Himeno is among the original-era illustrators, and Gen I Fire types keep a steady nostalgic audience among Rocket completionists. The modelled guide sits at $3.65 with 53 copies traded in 30 days, and the tape reads as a steady markup with inventory under control; a CGC 10 brings $18, 4.8 times raw, but 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.
