Release information

This card was first released as both a holofoil and non holofoil card as part of the Team Rocket expansion, originating as a holofoil card from the Rocket Gang expansion in Japan. It was later reprinted in the English Legendary Collection as a holofoil card.

Trivia

• About 5000 of the holofoil Team Rocket print were printed as non holofoil. These error cards, as well as the normal holofoil print, have the Energy Cost for the Giant Tail attack vertically misaligned.
• Although this Pokémon is level 33, Dragonair does not evolve into Dragonite until level 55.
