Pupitar is Pokédex #247, generation 2 (Johto). Dark Pupitar is a Stage 1 Fighting Darkness Pokémon with 70 HP. The card says it evolves from Larvitar. In this catalog that name is Larvitar (#246). The card lists Tyranitar, Tyranitar (#248) under evolves to.
Dark Pupitar sits at 40/109 in Team Rocket Returns, position 40 of 111. Before it is 39 Dark Magneton, and after it is 41 Dark Pupitar. The set belongs to the EX series. It was released on November 1, 2004. The printed size is 109. This checklist is longer, at 111 cards. The listed rarity is Uncommon.
The attack Explosive Evolution lists no damage number. The cost is Colorless. Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 10 damage to each of your opponent's Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance.) Then, search your deck for a card that evolves from Dark Pupitar and put it on Dark Pupitar. (This counts as evolving Dark Pupitar.) Shuffle your deck afterward. Double Tackle is another attack lists no damage number. The cost is Fighting, Colorless. Does 20 damage to each Defending Pokémon. Weakness is Grass ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The card text says: This Pokémon is both Fighting Darkness type.
Pupitar (#247) has 26 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 24 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2001 to 2025. The earliest other card is Pupitar 45/75 in Neo Discovery (2001). That card is named Pupitar, while this one is Dark Pupitar. Both list 70 HP. Both list the rarity Uncommon. Hironobu Yoshida illustrated that card, and Tomoaki Imakuni illustrated this one. 16 other cards of Pupitar list a different HP.
The illustrator line reads Tomoaki Imakuni. I count 13 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.
Team Rocket Returns set binder is where a full Team Rocket Returns set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Pupitar can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Team Rocket cards. I still need this card.
