Provenance

Where it came from

The Chikorita card numbered 51/115 was released in 2005 as part of the Pokémon Trading Card Game expansion titled EX Unseen Forces. This set was notable for its emphasis on the Johto region's legendary Pokémon, specifically focusing on the duo of Ho-Oh and Lugia. The expansion was designed to integrate various mechanics and aesthetic choices from the then-recent Game Boy Advance era, aiming to bridge the gap between classic card design and the evolving competitive landscape of the mid-2000s.

The card features artwork by illustrator Atsuko Nishida, who has been a central creative force behind the visual identity of the franchise since its inception. Her design for this particular Chikorita emphasizes the creature's gentle, plant-like nature through soft line work and a serene color palette. As a common card, it served as a foundational element for players building Grass-type decks, receiving recognition primarily for its accessible design and utility within the game's evolving synergy-based structure.
