Trivia

• This was the first set to include a "secret card" (a card whose number is larger than the set number) - that card being Dark Raichu.
• The release of this set was stalled considerably, as it was six months between when Fossil and Team Rocket were released. This mostly had to do with Wizards trying to get approval from Nintendo to make Dark Raichu; Nintendo was holding out and Wizards couldn't get the set released without Dark Raichu.
• Dark Raichu was an exclusive card to the American set, Japan did not print it until the release of their Neo 2 set.
• Despite popular rumors and commonly used phrases, the Pokémon were called "Dark". This was over the plain-sounding "Bad" or the possibly offensive "Evil" prefixes.

Theme Decks

• Devastation
• Trouble
