#24 Dark Golbat - Team Rocket (base5)
Dark Golbat is a Grass-type Pokémon with 50 HP, featured in the Base set released in 2000 as part of the Team Rocket series. It is classified as a Rare card and illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita. The Pokémon possesses a Pokémon Power ability called Sneak Attack, which allows the player to deal 10 damage to an opponent’s Pokémon when Dark Golbat is played, while also applying Weakness and Resistance. Its primary attack, Flitter, requires two Grass Energy to deal 20 damage, bypassing the usual application of Weakness and Resistance for this specific effect. Dark Golbat resists Fighting-type attacks by 30 and is weak to Psychic-type attacks, which deal double damage. The card’s flavor text describes its stealthy nature, highlighting its tendency to ambush prey from behind. It has no retreat cost, making it a straightforward entry-level Pokémon in gameplay scenarios.
