PSA Graded Card - Certification #102617265 - Grade: NM-MT 8

This is a 1997 Japanese Pocket Monsters card featuring Dark Dragonite (カイリュー) from the Team Rocket set. The card exhibits a strong, holographic foil background with an image of Dark Dragonite in front of a starry, sparkling backdrop. The card text is entirely in Japanese, and it showcases traditional golden borders, black font, and classic Pokemon TCG layout from the late '90s. The artwork is illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita, and the card's bottom left edge features the illustration credit. The rarity symbol 'R' is printed on the bottom right of the character's stats box. The condition is encapsulated and graded by PSA as NM-MT 8 (Near Mint-Mint). The card uses a holofoil printing for the character window which is a hallmark of rare and chase cards from this era. This set is historically significant as one of the first expansions featuring 'Dark' versions of familiar Pokemon, representing the villainous Team Rocket. The unique identifier is card number '149' in the set, and the distinguished holofoil treatment makes this card particularly collectible.
