Rapidash is Pokédex #078, generation 1 (Kanto). Dark Rapidash is a Stage 1 Fire Pokémon with 60 HP. The card lists level 24. The card says it evolves from Ponyta. In this catalog that name is Ponyta (#077).

Dark Rapidash sits at 44/82 in Team Rocket, position 44 of 83. Before it is 43 Dark Primeape, and after it is 45 Dark Vaporeon. 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.

The attack Rear Kick lists 20 damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless. Flame Pillar is another attack lists 30 damage. The cost is Fire, Fire. You may discard 1 Fire Energy card attached to Dark Rapidash when you use this attack. If you do and if your opponent has any Benched Pokémon, choose 1 of them and this attack does 10 damage to it. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Weakness is Water ×2. The flavor text reads "A wild, uncontrollable Pokémon. When running, it looks like a comet streaking through the sky."

Rapidash (#078) has 33 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 28 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2025. The earliest other card is Rapidash 44/64 in Jungle (1999). That card is named Rapidash, while this one is Dark Rapidash. That card lists 70 HP, and this one lists 60 HP. Both list the rarity Uncommon. Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated that card, and Kagemaru Himeno illustrated this one. 32 other cards of Rapidash 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. Rapidash 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.
