#36 Dark Gloom - Team Rocket (base5)
Dark Gloom is a Grass-type Pokémon with 50 HP, featuring a retreat cost of two Colorless energy. It possesses the ability Pollen Stench, which allows the player to flip a coin during their turn to potentially confuse the defending Pokémon or their own Active Pokémon, though this effect cannot be used if Dark Gloom is already Confused, Asleep, or Paralyzed. Its primary attack, Poisonpowder, requires two Grass energy to deal 10 damage and inflicts the Poison status on the defending Pokémon. The card’s weaknesses include Fire-type attacks, which deal double damage. Dark Gloom is part of the Base series, released in the Team Rocket set on April 24, 2000. The card was illustrated by Kagemaru Himeno and is classified as an Uncommon rarity. Its flavor text describes the Pokémon’s pollen as having such a strong aroma that it occasionally causes self-confusion.
