Pokémon: Zubat Series: Base Set Set: Team Rocket Card Number: 70 Rarity: Common Condition: N/A Grade: Raw Year: 2000 Illustrator: Mitsuhiro Arita Zubat #70/82 from the Team Rocket 1st Edition set is a classic Grass-type Basic Pokémon card that holds a special place in the hearts of Pokémon TCG collectors and enthusiasts. First released in April 2000 as part of the fifth expansion in the English Pokémon Trading Card Game, this Common-rarity card captures the eerie charm of the Bat Pokémon with striking artwork by Mitsuhiro Arita. With a modest 40 HP, Zubat may not be a powerhouse in battle, but its nostalgic value and connection to one of the franchise’s most iconic villainous teams make it a sought-after piece for vintage collections. In gameplay, Zubat offers two simple yet thematic attacks: Ram for 10 damage and Bite for 20 damage, requiring one Grass energy. It carries a weakness to Psychic-type attacks and has no retreat cost, making it a quick, disposable attacker in casual play. While not a tournament staple, its role in the Team Rocket set—known for darker themes and corrupted Pokémon—adds narrative depth. The set itself is notable for introducing "Dark" variants of fan-favorite Pokémon like Dark Blastoise and Dark Raichu, and Zubat fits perfectly into this shadowy aesthetic. This raw (ungraded) 1st Edition Zubat card is ideal for collectors looking to complete a vintage Team Rocket set or for players building a retro-themed deck. Cards in Near Mint condition exhibit minimal wear, with clean surfaces, sharp corners, and no creases, closely resembling their original pack-fresh state. Whether you're reliving the early days of the TCG or introducing a new generation to its roots, Zubat #70/82 is a charming and affordable piece of Pokémon history.
