Character: Hitmonchan Set: Gym Heroes Series: Base Set Card Number: 11/132 Rarity: R Condition: N/A Grade: Raw Year: 2000 Illustrator: Ken Sugimori Type: Character Rocket's Hitmonchan (11/132) from the Gym Heroes expansion is a standout card for collectors and fans of vintage Pokémon TCG, especially those with a fondness for the enigmatic Team Rocket. Featured as a Holo Rare in the 1st Edition set released in August 2000, this Fighting-type Basic Pokémon showcases bold, shimmering artwork by the legendary Ken Sugimori. With its striking holographic finish and iconic villainous branding, Rocket's Hitmonchan captures the rebellious spirit of the Gym Heroes era, making it a prized addition to any serious collection. Battling with a dynamic moveset, Rocket's Hitmonchan boasts 60 HP and two powerful attacks: Crosscounter and Magnum Punch. Crosscounter offers a strategic defensive play, allowing it to retaliate with double damage under specific conditions, while Magnum Punch delivers a solid 50 damage output. Despite its modest HP, its unique ability and thematic appeal elevate its status far beyond gameplay mechanics. As part of the 6th expansion in the Pokémon TCG, Gym Heroes introduced memorable trainer-themed cards and rare villain variants, with Rocket’s Hitmonchan standing out as one of the most sought-after. This raw, ungraded card retains its vintage charm and historical significance, perfect for collectors aiming to preserve the authenticity of early Pokémon TCG relics. Whether displayed in a protective sleeve or stored in a custom binder, Rocket's Hitmonchan serves as a nostalgic tribute to the dawn of competitive Pokémon card collecting. Its scarcity, especially in Near Mint or better condition, continues to drive demand among enthusiasts.
