Provenance

Where it came from

Released in 2004 as part of the Team Rocket Returns expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game, this Dratini card reflects the set's thematic focus on the villainous Team Rocket organization. The set was designed to reintroduce the concept of Pokémon belonging to trainers, featuring 'Rocket's Pokémon' that often displayed darker or more aggressive traits than their standard counterparts.

The card features artwork by Midori Harada, a prolific illustrator for the franchise known for a soft, painterly style that contrasts with the more industrial aesthetic of the Team Rocket theme. As a common card in a set primarily known for its high-value 'dark' evolutions and Pokémon-ex, this Dratini serves as a foundational piece for players looking to complete the set or build thematic decks centered around the Johto region's iconic dragon type.
