What it does
Once during your turn (before your attack), you may search your deck for an Evolution card. Show it to your opponent and put it into your hand. Shuffle your deck afterward. This power can't be used if Dark Dragonair is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed.
Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 20 damage plus 20 more damage; if tails, this attack does 20 damage.
As is fitting for a legendary Pokémon, it has many strange powers, including the ability to make rain or snow fall.

Where it came from
Dark Dragonair was released as part of the Team Rocket expansion, the first Pokémon Trading Card Game set to feature the 'Dark' mechanic. Debuting in Japan in 1997 and internationally in 2000, this set introduced the concept of corrupted or villainous versions of existing Pokémon, tied to the narrative of the Team Rocket organization. The design shift moved away from the bright, adventurous aesthetic of the original Base Set toward a more brooding, shadowy visual identity that reflected the antagonistic nature of the characters involved.
The artwork for this card was provided by Mitsuhiro Arita, a foundational artist for the Pokémon franchise known for his distinct watercolor and ink style. For the Dark Dragonair, Arita chose a moody, low-light composition that emphasized the creature's serpentine elegance while grounding it in the darker thematic shift of the set. Upon its release, the card was well-received by collectors who appreciated the departure from standard evolutionary lines, and it remains a nostalgic touchstone for those documenting the transition period of the early TCG era.
