==Release information==
This card was reprinted in the {{TCG|Legendary Collection}} reprint set, which was only released outside of Japan. A non-holographic version of this card was present in that set's {{TCG|Turmoil}} theme deck. Unlike the Team Rocket set version, the reprint was not a secret card.
This card was included as a {{TCG|Secret card}} in the {{TCG|Team Rocket}} expansion, having been made especially for the English set by [[Wizards of the Coast]]. It was later printed as a Super Rare in the Japanese {{TCG|Crossing the Ruins...}} expansion. The text in the top-right corner of the card reads "Put '''Raichu''' on the Basic Pokémon", as opposed to the proper "Put '''Dark Raichu''' on the Basic Pokémon". It was reprinted in the {{TCG|Legendary Collection}} expansion with the text corrected. An exclusive Non Holofoil print was included in the {{TCG|Turmoil}} {{TCG|Theme Deck}}. The interior of this card's evolution box is light gray, not dark gray, as opposed to other {{TCG|Dark Pokémon}} from the Team Rocket set. It appears this way even on the Legendary Collection print.

==Trivia==

*This card was the first {{TCG|Secret card}} in a TCG expansion. It was also the first card that was released internationally before it was released in Japan.
*The card's evolution box is light gray, not dark gray as opposed to other Pokémon with Dark in its name from the Team Rocket set.  It appears this way even in the {{TCG|Legendary Collection}} print.
*This card caused the Team Rocket expansion to be delayed, due to Dark Raichu needing to be approved by Nintendo.
