      I find that ironic because it is a Team Rocket card.

        Haha true. At least it and my raichu were all that got stolen. Maybe I got pick pocketed by Team Rocket.

    This card was a Lass without the effect of hurting your own hand. It’s insanely good. If it was played today, it could get supporter cards as well! 10/10 imo

    This card rocked. I loved how all my friends didn’t realize how good it was, so I traded them stuff like Kangaskhans for them.

    Also being a young adolescent, the artwork probably turned me on.

    What kind of ball is she holding? It looks like an Ultra Ball, but it appears to have an M on it like a Master ball. Or is that an H?

      It’s an H.

      It’s an R, of Rocket’s Poke Ball

        It’s an H, look at an Ultra Ball (Hyper Ball in Japan)

    Oh this card is sweet!

      She’s Cassidy and have a partner called Butch and a Raticate as the trio pet. They were an alternate trio of TR thugs way better than Jessie, James and Meowth

      The first season of the original anime presents them.

      Female Rocket Grunt from Gen 2 (GSC), as my post states.

        Are you talking about the female rocket administrator? Because there weren’t any female rocket grunt in the GSC version of the game. She resembles Cassidy from the anime.

          There are actually female rocket grunts, as shown in the Mahogany Town hideout and Goldenrod radio tower.

    And this art is the origin of the female Rocket Grunt from GSC in Gen 2.

    ◆ This card was reprinted and reclassified as a Supporter in Pokémon Web, which makes it legal for the e-Card era. On its own, as a Supporter, I don’t think it would pose much of a threat..? There are only some combos, of limited interest, because it becomes less a question of outright hand disruption and only marginal hand annoyance.

    ◆ Looking into things based on the above discussion;
    · This card originally released November 1997.
    · Yamato (re: Cassidy) debuted in the anime in EP057, which aired August 1998.
    · There is no sprite resembling this character in early versions of Pokémon GS, i.e. in the leaked Spaceworld 1997 builds[1], but the character does finally appear in a May 1998 build[2]. However, it should be noted that there were clearly *plans* for a female Rocket Grunt in the 1997 builds, with a Youngster as a placeholder for the female Rocket class [3]. As with Impostor Professor Oak, I’d suggest this is less a case of a “TCG exclusive-character who
    crossed over to other elements of the franchise”, and more a case of using the TCG to provide a “sneak peak” of the upcoming Pokémon games.

    [1] The Spaceworld 1997 build was publicly shown in November of 1997; i.e., around the same time the card came out.
