Why This Card Matters

Dark Gyarados #8/82 was selected as the prerelease promotional card for the Team Rocket expansion and features the distinctive PRERELEASE stamp directly on the holo artwork.

Released during the Wizards of the Coast era in 2000, this version combines one of Pokémon's most recognizable characters with Team Rocket's popular Dark Pokémon theme and vintage prerelease history.

The Kagemaru Himeno artwork features Dark Gyarados against the classic cosmos-style holo background, with the PRERELEASE stamp prominently displayed in the artwork window. Together, the vintage holo treatment and stamped prerelease designation make this a distinctive Team Rocket collectible.
