Release date, card count, chase cards and how it compares with the WOTC era.
Team Rocket arrived on April 24, 2000, as an expansion in the WOTC era's Base series, carrying the set code RO. It lists 82 official cards with 1 secret card above that count, for 83 catalog printings in all. The set is defined by its Dark Pokémon, and the featured names Dark Alakazam, Dark Arbok, Dark Blastoise, Dark Charizard and Dark Dragonite each appear twice. The headline cards are all Dark Raichu, Dark Dragonite and Dark Blastoise style rares, and the set leans on Grass, Colorless, Psychic and Water Pokémon.
The Team Rocket card list is split into commons, uncommons and rares, and the 35 rares include 18 chase-tier cards, with the single secret card numbered above the printed 82. The most valuable cards are rares from the Dark Pokémon line: Dark Raichu first, then Dark Dragonite, Dark Blastoise, Dark Gyarados and Dark Alakazam. Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated the top three, while Kagemaru Himeno and Ken Sugimori drew the next two. The top five cards hold 42 percent of the set's total card value, so the chase cards matter, though value is spread more evenly than in many sets of this age.
