Collector Insights
Dark Pupitar is a Fighting and Darkness-type Pokémon with 70 HP. It has a retreat cost of one Colorless energy and is part of the EX series released in the Team Rocket Returns set. The card’s weaknesses include Grass-type attacks dealing double damage. It features two attacks: Explosive Evolution, which costs one Colorless energy and allows the player to flip a coin for potential damage to opponent’s Pokémon and evolve Dark Pupitar by searching for a compatible card, and Double Tackle, which requires Fighting and Colorless energy to deal 20 damage to each defending Pokémon. The card’s rules state it is both Fighting and Darkness type, reflecting its dual classification. Designed by artist Tomoaki Imakuni, Dark Pupitar is classified as an Uncommon rarity.
