    Dark Sandslash, Dark Marowak, and Dark Steelix are the only new dark Pokemon in TRR (i.e., the only ones that weren’t previously featured in Neo Destiny or Team Rocket)

    This card, Dark Steelix, and Dark Marowak are the only *new* dark Pokemon introduced in this set (all the others previously appeared in TR or Neo Destiny)
