ロケット団 ( Rocket Gang )

Rocket Gang is a dark and captivating Japanese Pokémon TCG expansion that introduces players to the shadowy world of Team Rocket and their corrupted Pokémon. As the Japanese counterpart to the original Team Rocket set, it centers around “Dark” Pokémon—sinister, powerful versions of familiar species such as Dark Charizard, Dark Blastoise, and Dark Gyarados—each brought to life through moody, dramatic artwork that captures the team’s rebellious and dangerous spirit. The set explores themes of control, ambition, and the moral tension between light and darkness, immersing players in the perspective of Pokémon under Team Rocket’s command. Rocket Gang expands gameplay with innovative mechanics that emphasize risk, resource management, and strategic manipulation, mirroring the cunning nature of its villainous theme. With its gritty tone, striking visuals, and narrative depth, Rocket Gang stands as one of the most atmospheric and memorable expansions of the classic era, symbolizing mischief, power, and the allure of playing on the darker side of the Pokémon world.
