Provenance

Where it came from

The Chespin card from the Kalos Starter Set was released in 2013 to coincide with the launch of the Pokémon X and Y video games on the Nintendo 3DS. As one of the three grass-type starter Pokémon introduced in the Kalos region, Chespin was chosen for this deck to introduce players to the newly unveiled sixth generation of the franchise and the updated mechanics of the Pokémon Trading Card Game at the time.

The card features artwork typical of the era's starter sets, emphasizing clean, digital illustrations that highlight the character's signature chestnut-like shell and expressive features. Designed for early-game play, the card focuses on fundamental gameplay elements, serving as an accessible entry point for new collectors and players transitioning into the then-latest iteration of the trading card game ecosystem.
