Release information
This card was included as a Secret card in the Team Rocket expansion, having been made especially for the English set by Wizards of the Coast. It was later printed as a Super Rare in the Japanese Crossing the Ruins... expansion. The text in the top-right corner of the card reads "Put Raichu on the Basic Pokémon", as opposed to the proper "Put Dark Raichu on the Basic Pokémon". It was reprinted in the Legendary Collection expansion with the text corrected. An exclusive Non Holofoil print was included in the Turmoil Theme Deck. The interior of this card's evolution box is light gray, not dark gray, as opposed to other Dark Pokémon from the Team Rocket set. It appears this way even on the Legendary Collection print.
