Provenance

Where it came from

Released in the year 2000 as part of the Neo Genesis expansion, this card marked the introduction of the Generation II Pokémon from the Johto region into the Pokémon Trading Card Game. As the first set in the Neo series, it served as a transition from the original Base Set era, introducing the Grass-type Chikorita to players alongside new game mechanics and an updated card layout.

The card features artwork by illustrator Atsuko Nishida, who has been a central figure in defining the visual language of the franchise since its inception. Nishida’s design captures Chikorita in a gentle, accessible style that emphasizes the character's signature leaf and neck bud. Upon its release, the card was widely distributed as a common rarity entry, becoming a staple of the set and a recognizable piece of early millennium gaming history for fans of the Gold and Silver games.
