Collector Insights

Minion of Team Rocket is a Trainer card from the Challenge from the Darkness set, released on June 25, 1999. It features artwork by Ken Sugimori and carries a rarity of Uncommon, with the card number 89. The card’s theme color is a warm earth tone, represented by the hex code #9f8c5b. Its flavor text describes a coin-flipping mechanic, where flipping two coins determines the outcome of the turn. If both coins land heads, the player can return an opponent’s Benched Pokémon and attached cards to their hand. If either or both coins are tails, the player’s turn ends immediately, preventing any attacks. This card’s unique interaction emphasizes strategic risk management during gameplay. As a Trainer card, it influences game dynamics without directly engaging in battle.

Flip 2 coins. If both of them are heads, choose 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon and return it and all cards attached to it to his or her hand. If 1 or both of them are tails, your turn ends immediately (you can't attack this turn).
