#2 Dark Arbok - Team Rocket (base5)
Dark Arbok is a Grass-type Pokémon with 60 HP, featuring a retreat cost of two Colorless energy. It appears in the Base series, released as part of the Team Rocket set on April 24, 2000. The card is illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita and carries a Rare Holo rarity. Dark Arbok has no resistances but is weak to Psychic-type attacks, which deal double damage. Its attacks include Stare, a Grass-type move that costs two Grass energy and inflicts 10 damage, while also halting a defending Pokémon's Power until the end of the opponent's next turn. The second attack, Poison Vapor, requires three Grass energy and deals 10 damage, poisoning the defending Pokémon and affecting all Benched Pokémon of the opponent. The flavor text describes Dark Arbok as a creature that freezes prey with its stare, cautioning against direct eye contact. The card's theme emphasizes its predatory nature and the danger posed by its gaze.
