Common questions
What rarity is Dark Pupitar #40?
Dark Pupitar is an Uncommon. Team Rocket Returns contains 35 cards at that rarity out of 111 total.
Does condition change what Dark Pupitar is worth?
The prices on this page are for raw, ungraded copies.

Scryda scans the card, reads the exact print and finish, and shows raw alongside graded comps.
