Dragonair is Pokédex #148, generation 1 (Kanto). Dark Dragonair is a Stage 1 Colorless Pokémon with 60 HP. The card lists level 28. The card says it evolves from Dratini. In this catalog that name is Dratini (#147). The card lists Dragonite, Dragonite (#149) under evolves to.

Dark Dragonair sits at 33/82 in Team Rocket, position 33 of 83. Before it is 32 Dark Charmeleon, and after it is 34 Dark Electrode. The set belongs to the Base series. It was released on April 24, 2000. The printed size is 82. This checklist is longer, at 83 cards. The listed rarity is Uncommon.

Evolutionary Light is listed as Pokémon Power. 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. The attack Tail Strike lists 20+ damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless, Colorless. Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 20 damage plus 20 more damage; if tails, this attack does 20 damage. Resistance is Psychic -30. Retreat cost is 2.

Dragonair (#148) has 28 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 23 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2026. The earliest other card is Dragonair 18/102 in Base (1999). That card is named Dragonair, while this one is Dark Dragonair. That card lists 80 HP, and this one lists 60 HP. The rarity there is Rare, and here it is Uncommon. Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated that card, and Kagemaru Himeno illustrated this one. 27 other cards of Dragonair list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Kagemaru Himeno. I count 656 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Team Rocket set binder is where a full Team Rocket set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Dragonair can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Team Rocket cards. I still need this card.
