Provenance

Where it came from

The Chimecho card from the EX Hidden Legends expansion was released in 2004, marking a period where the Pokémon Trading Card Game was deeply integrated with the themes of the third-generation video games, specifically the Hoenn region. This set focused on the mysterious 'hidden' aspects of the Pokémon world, introducing new mechanics and showcasing diverse illustrations that emphasized the atmospheric nature of the creatures featured.

The card features artwork by the prolific illustrator Midori Harada, who was instrumental in defining the visual language of early 2000s Pokémon cards. Her approach for this Chimecho card leans into the creature’s wind-chime motif, utilizing soft lines and a calm color palette to convey its psychic typing and elusive presence. It was generally well-received by players and collectors at the time for its thematic consistency and clean, recognizable aesthetic, becoming a representative piece of the EX-era design philosophy.
