Provenance

Where it came from

The Blastoise-EX card from the XY—Evolutions expansion was released in late 2016 to commemorate the twentieth anniversary of the Pokémon franchise. As part of a set designed to recreate the aesthetic and feel of the original Base Set, the card reimagines a classic Pokémon through the lens of the modern EX mechanics introduced in the XY series. These cards were characterized by their high hit points and powerful abilities, intended to provide a bridge between nostalgic appeal and the competitive play standards of the time.

The card features artwork by Eske Yoshinob, a prominent illustrator known for his dynamic and high-contrast digital style within the Pokémon Trading Card Game. In designing this piece, the objective was to showcase the formidable nature of the water-type starter in a bold, contemporary pose while maintaining the legacy of the original 1996 design. Upon release, the set received widespread attention from veteran collectors who appreciated the callback to the early days of the game, cementing this card's status as a staple for fans of the original Kanto starters.
