Pokémon super fans will soon be able to decorate their homes with giant Pokémon card-themed rugs thanks to Kanto Starter's latest product launch.

The well-known bootleg brand is set to release a new series of six carpets, each of which will pay tribute to the 'Team Rocket Pokémon TCG' card set first released in 2000. The collection will include 'Dark Dragonite,' 'Dark Charizard,' 'Dark Gyarados,' 'Rocket's Mewtwo,' 'Rocket's Zapdos,' and the 'Here Comes Team Rocket!' trainer card.

These retro-inspired rugs are 5’2 x 3’6 ft in size and come fully colored with all the exact details found on the original physical cards. These include the Pokémon's signature animation and battle details such as its 'Evolution Stage.' 'Hit Points, 'Power,' and more.
