Pokémon - 1 Graded card - Dark Dugtrio No.051 Foil - AI grading 8.5 - WOTC - Team Rocket

The Dark Dugtrio No. 051 foil card from the Team Rocket set is a distinctive addition to Pokémon card collections. Team Rocket-themed cards introduce darker, often shadowy versions of popular Pokémon, symbolizing the villainous Team Rocket from the series. Dark Dugtrio, a Ground-type Pokémon known for its trio of heads emerging from the ground, appears here with a foil finish that accentuates its artwork and rarity. Graded with an 8.5 by AI, which suggests a high condition level, this card appeals to collectors seeking quality preserved cards. Released during the late 1990s or early 2000s under Wizards of the Coast (WOTC) era, this card represents a notable era in Pokémon card history when Team Rocket expansions brought new mechanics and designs into the game. Foil cards and those from special sets like Team Rocket carry significant collector value, particularly when graded for condition and authenticity.
