Collector Insights

Dark Magcargo is a Fire and Darkness-type Pokémon from the EX series, featured in the Team Rocket Returns set released in 2004. It has 80 HP and is classified as an Uncommon rarity card, with artwork by artist Nakaoka. The Pokémon’s retreat cost requires two Colorless Energy cards to return to the hand. It possesses two attacks: Energy Press, which costs one Colorless Energy and deals 10 damage plus 10 additional damage for each basic Energy attached to all of your Active Pokémon, and Linear Attack, which uses one Fighting and two Colorless Energy to deal 40 damage to a chosen opponent’s Pokémon, ignoring Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon. Dark Magcargo has no resistances but is weak to Water-type attacks, which deal double damage. The card’s rules clarify its dual Fire and Darkness typing, emphasizing its role in the game’s mechanics. Its design aligns with the Team Rocket Returns theme, reflecting its strategic impact in battles.
