Dark Jolteon is card #38/82 in the 2000 Pokemon Team Rocket set (Uncommon), the Wizards of the Coast expansion (April 2000) that introduced Dark Pokemon to the trading card game. It was printed in 1st Edition and Unlimited. PSA has graded about 5,072 copies across its printings.
No 'Edition 1' stamp. Identical artwork and copyright to the 1st Edition card — the missing stamp is the only tell. By far the most common printing (Team Rocket had no separate Shadowless run, so there is no copyright-line difference).

Market values are live TCGplayer prices for each printing. A dash means TCGplayer has no separate or active listing for that variant (e.g. the error or promo cards). As an eBay Partner & affiliate we may earn from qualifying purchases.
Every Team Rocket card comes in two English printings: 1st Edition (with the Edition-1 stamp left of the art) and Unlimited (no stamp). Team Rocket has no separate Shadowless print, so the art and the (c)1999-2000 copyright are identical -- the stamp is the only tell. Outside the 82-card checklist, #5 Dark Dragonite also exists as the famous No Holo error (both editions), and three cards have stamped promos: #8 (Prerelease), #19 and #32 (silver W stamp).
