DARK RAICHU-HOLO | 2000 POKEMON ROCKET 83 | 1ST EDITION | PSA GEM MT 10

PSA Graded Card - Certification #71964924 - Grade: GEM MT 10

This is a 1st Edition Holofoil Dark Raichu from the 2000 Pokémon Team Rocket set, notable for being the first ever Secret Rare in an English Pokémon set (card number 83/82, which is outside the standard set numbering). The card features striking holographic foil across the illustration area, with an image of the 'Dark Raichu' character mid-action, surrounded by a cosmic/sparkle background. The yellow border is representative of early English Pokémon TCG sets. The Team Rocket set marks the debut of 'Dark' versions of familiar Pokémon. The card also includes the '1st Edition' stamp on the lower left, indicating it's from the initial print. There are no visible flaws, bends, or whitening, and the label shows a PSA GEM MINT 10 grade—visually, the centering appears strong and corners sharp. Printed using standard Wizards of the Coast techniques for Pokémon TCG (holofoil layer, yellow border, English text). Artist is Mitsuhiro Arita. Unique identifiers: 1st Edition stamp, Secret Rare numbering, Team Rocket set symbol (R). Distinguishing features: only Secret Rare in the set, and the only Dark Raichu issued in this style.
