Release information
This card was released as a Secret card in the Team Rocket expansion, having been made especially for the English set by Wizards of the Coast. It was later printed in Japanese as a Super Rare in the Crossing the Ruins... expansion. The text in the top-right corner of the card reads "Put Raichu on the Basic Pokémon", as opposed to the proper "Put Dark Raichu on the Basic Pokémon". It was reprinted in English in the Legendary Collection with this text corrected. An exclusive Non Holofoil version of this print was present in the set's TurmoilTheme Deck. The interior of this card's evolution box is light gray, not dark gray, as opposed to other Dark Pokémon from the Team Rocket set. It appears this way even on the Legendary Collection print.
Trivia
This card was the first Secret card in a TCG set. It was also the first card that was released internationally before it was released in Japan.
This card caused the Team Rocket expansion to be delayed, due to Dark Raichu needing to be approved by Nintendo.
