Pokémon Trading Card Game Team Rocket’s Zubat

This official Pokémon Trading Card Game Reverse Holo card features Team Rocket’s Zubat, a variant of the cave-dwelling Bat Pokémon, as a Darkness-type Basic Pokémon. The artwork captures its eerie nature, referencing its Pokédex habit of living in sunless caves and gathering in the morning to sleep together for warmth.

Zubat is a pure status-infliction card with no direct damage output. Its single attack, Poison Spray (cost: one Darkness Energy), simply makes “Your opponent’s Active Pokémon Poisoned.” This applies constant damage between turns and can synergize with other cards that benefit from or enhance the Poisoned condition.

Classified as a Common card (denoted by the circle symbol and in a Reverse Holo variant), it has a low 50 HP. It carries a Lightning-type Weakness (x2), a Fighting-type Resistance (-30), and no Retreat Cost, reflecting its ability to fly freely. This Reverse Holo card is a useful tool for Poison-focused Darkness decks, especially those themed around Team Rocket, applying early and consistent pressure on the opponent.
