History
The Rocket's Scyther card, numbered 123/132, is a holographic gem from the iconic Gym Challenge expansion. Released in 2000 in Japan and 2001 in the West, this set immersed players and collectors in the world of Kanto Gym Leaders, while also revealing the growing influence of Team Rocket. Scyther, a Bug/Flying type Pokémon renowned for its lightning speed and sharp scythes, is depicted here under the sway of the criminal organization, giving it a darker, more menacing aura.
