Provenance

Where it came from

Chespin, a Grass-type starter from the Kalos region, was introduced in the Pokémon Trading Card Game as part of the XY: BREAKthrough expansion. Released in late 2015, this set was notable for introducing the BREAK Evolution mechanic, which featured cards oriented horizontally with a unique gold-foiled texture. As a common card, this iteration of Chespin was designed to serve as a foundational element for players building Grass-type decks within the evolving XY-era competitive landscape.

The card features illustration by Midori Harada, a prolific artist in the Pokémon franchise known for her clean, expressive style. Harada captures the character's signature energetic disposition, placing Chespin in a naturalistic setting that emphasizes its Grass-type affinity. Upon release, the card was widely distributed in booster packs and theme decks, becoming a recognizable staple for collectors and players focused on the sixth generation of Pokémon.
