Provenance

Where it came from

The Chinchou card 49/149 was released as part of the Sun & Moon base expansion, which debuted in early 2017 to coincide with the generation seven video games. This set marked a significant shift in the Pokémon Trading Card Game, introducing the Alola region's unique creatures and updating the card layout to feature cleaner, more modern graphic design elements.

The card features artwork by illustrator Kouki Saitou, who is known for his soft, watercolor-inspired approach to Pokémon character design. In this piece, he portrays Chinchou in its natural aquatic habitat, capturing the creature's bioluminescent qualities through subtle lighting effects. As a common card, it was designed to be easily accessible to players and collectors alike, serving as a standard utility card within the set's expanded deck-building environment.
