Team Rocket is a set in the Base series. It was released on April 24, 2000. The printed size is 82. This checklist is longer, at 83 cards. Dark Gloom is 36/82, in position 36 of 83 on this checklist. Before it is 35 Dark Flareon, and after it is 37 Dark Golduck. The listed rarity is Uncommon.
Dark Gloom is a Stage 1 Grass Pokémon with 50 HP. The card lists level 21. In the Pokédex this is Gloom (#044), generation 1 (Kanto). The card says it evolves from Oddish. In this catalog that name is Oddish (#043). The card lists Vileplume, Vileplume (#045) and Bellossom, Bellossom (#182) under evolves to.
Kagemaru Himeno illustrated this card. The same name is on 656 other cards in the catalog.
Gloom (#044) has 25 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 22 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2026. The earliest other card is Gloom 37/64 in Jungle (1999). That card is named Gloom, while this one is Dark Gloom. That card lists 60 HP, and this one lists 50 HP. Both list the rarity Uncommon. Keiji Kinebuchi illustrated that card, and Kagemaru Himeno illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 1, and here it is 2. 25 other cards of Gloom list a different HP.
Pollen Stench is listed as Pokémon Power. Once during your turn (before your attack), you may flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokémon is now Confused; if tails, your Active Pokémon is now Confused. This power can't be used if Dark Gloom is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed. The attack Poisonpowder lists 10 damage. The cost is Grass, Grass. The Defending Pokémon is now Poisoned. Weakness is Fire ×2. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "Its pollen has such a strong smell that it even confuses itself at times."
I keep a set binder for Team Rocket, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Team Rocket set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Gloom 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.
