Dark Charizard is a rare holo Pokemon card from Pokemon Team Rocket, card 4 of 82, released April 24, 2000 in the Base series. The illustration is by Ken Sugimori.
Dark Charizard from Team Rocket (2000) reimagined the franchise icon as a mistreated, meaner evolution — part of the set's story where Team Rocket's Pokémon evolved wrong. It is the most valuable card of the set in both 1st Edition and unlimited.
VALUE
What is Dark Charizard #4 from Team Rocket worth?
Two different numbers answer this, and they are not interchangeable. Raw/ungraded: a loose, ungraded copy of Dark Charizard #4 (Team Rocket) carries a market reference of $265.83 USD for the 1stEditionHolofoil printing (TCGplayer market price, as of 2026-09-11). Graded slabs: a graded example is priced per grading company and per grade and can sit far above that raw figure - documented public sales on file for this card run from $10800.00 (PSA 10, 2026-07-26) to $20400.00 (PSA 10, 2026-07-12), each listed with its source below. Both are references, not offers. The graded copy in our machine carries a Rip Station estimated slab value of $550.00 (PSA 4).
