Collector Insights
Dark Ariados is a Grass and Darkness-type Pokémon with 70 HP, featuring a retreat cost of one Colorless energy. It appears in the Team Rocket Returns set, released in 2004, as a Uncommon rarity card. The Pokémon has no resistances but is weak to Fire, taking double damage from such attacks. Its abilities include Super Poison Breath, which costs one Colorless energy to poison all defending Pokémon, and Breaking Impact, a Grass/Colorless attack that deals damage based on the opponent's Retreat Cost. The latter attack requires three energy, with damage calculated by the number of Colorless energies in the target's Retreat Cost. Dark Ariados is illustrated by Kyoko Koizumi and is numbered 30 in the series. The card's rules specify it is classified as both Grass and Darkness type, reflecting its dual attributes. Its design and mechanics align with the EX series' thematic focus on intense battles and strategic interactions.
