Team Rocket is the name given to the fifth main expansion of the Pokémon TCG. In Japan, it was released as Rocket Gang. It features Generation I Pokémon, themed around the exploits of Team Rocket, and introduces Dark Pokémon. The English expansion was released on April 24, 2000, while the Japanese expansion was released on November 21, 1997. The English release was stalled for six months since the release of the Fossil expansion, due to Wizards of the Coast having to await for approval from Nintendo to print Dark Raichu.
