Trivia

About 5000 of the Holofoil Team Rocket prints were printed as Non Holofoil. These error cards, as well as the normal Holofoil print, have the Energy Cost for the Giant Tail attack vertically misaligned.
Although this Pokémon is level 33, Dragonair does not evolve into Dragonite until level 55.
