Team Rocket's Weezing #199

Team Rocket's Weezing from the Destined Rivals set is an Illustration Rare and a secret card, identified by its card number 199/182, which surpasses the set's standard count. This status as a secret Illustration Rare significantly contributes to its appeal among collectors, as such cards are typically more challenging to acquire. The distinctive full-art by Yukihiro Tada further enhances its desirability.

As an Illustration Rare, the card features a unique full-art depiction by Yukihiro Tada, moving beyond traditional card borders. Its signature attack, Explode Together Now, presents an interesting strategic element, dealing 40 damage for each Pokémon with 'Koffing' or 'Weezing' in its name on either player's side of the field. This mechanic rewards players who build their decks around its evolutionary line. The card's flavor text adds an unexpected detail, noting that 'Top-grade perfume is made using its internal poison gases by diluting them to the highest level,' hinting at a peculiar use for its potent fumes.
