Provenance

Where it came from

Released in September 2003, the Sandstorm expansion was the second set of the Pokémon Trading Card Game produced by Nintendo after the transition from Wizards of the Coast. This set introduced the Fossil mechanic to the e-Card series, featuring Pokémon originally discovered in the Hoenn region games, Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire. The Anorith card, numbered 28/100, serves as a representation of this ancient arthropod, reflecting the game's focus on prehistoric creatures restored from fossils.

The artwork for this specific card was illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita, one of the most prolific and recognized artists in the history of the Pokémon TCG. Arita’s design captures Anorith in a stark, focused pose, utilizing a clean aesthetic consistent with the e-Card era's distinct border layout. Upon its debut, the card was well-received by players for its integration into the newly established mechanics of the generation, remaining a staple of the set's thematic commitment to desert-dwelling and fossilized species.
