# Dark Slowbro #12/82 — Team Rocket

## Summary

Dark Slowbro earned its Team Rocket reputation through Reel In, a Pokémon Power that recycled Basics and Evolutions from the discard pile, which made it a genuine engine in early Wizards-era decks. Arita's name and a Gen I favorite give this mid-tier Rare steady, nostalgic demand. The modelled guide sits at $52, up 1% over 30 days on 62 copies traded, with only 24 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, with original packs long past any pull-rate math.
