Where it came from
The Bulbasaur card from the Shining Legends expansion was released in late 2017 as part of a special set dedicated to high-rarity holographic 'Shining' Pokémon. While Bulbasaur itself is categorized as a common card within the set, its inclusion served to celebrate the original generation of starter Pokémon, bridging the gap between nostalgic Kanto-era designs and the modern mechanics introduced in the Sun and Moon series.
The card features artwork by illustrator Mizue, who has contributed to the Pokémon Trading Card Game since the early 2000s. Mizue's design for this card utilizes a clean, vibrant aesthetic that emphasizes the character's traditional look while aligning with the high-definition art styles preferred for the Shining Legends set. The card was well-received by collectors who appreciate the inclusion of classic Pokémon within specialized expansion sets, providing an accessible entry point for those completing the set's broader roster.
