Provenance

Where it came from

Released in January 2003, the Aquapolis expansion was the third main set in the e-Card Series of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set was notable for its integration with the Nintendo e-Reader, a peripheral for the Game Boy Advance that allowed players to scan dot-code strips on the cards to unlock mini-games, Pokédex entries, or sound effects. Chinchou, numbered 70/147, was issued as a common card within this innovative but short-lived technical framework.

The card features an illustration by Midori Harada, an artist who contributed extensively to the Pokémon TCG throughout the early 2000s. Harada's style for the Aquapolis set often leaned into a clean, digital aesthetic intended to complement the technical nature of the e-Reader compatibility. As a common card, the Chinchou served as a foundational element for deck building during the e-Card era, characterized by its standard Water-type design and functional mechanics within the competitive landscape of the time.
