Provenance

Where it came from

The Chinchou card numbered 73/214 was released as part of the Pokémon Trading Card Game expansion titled Lost Thunder, which debuted in late 2018. This set drew heavy inspiration from the Johto region, specifically focusing on the lore surrounding legendary Pokémon like Zekrom and Lugia. As a common card, it was designed to populate the set while introducing players to the basic Electric-type mechanics prevalent during the Sun and Moon series era of the game.

The artwork for this specific card was illustrated by sui, who has contributed numerous illustrations to the Pokémon TCG. The design leans into the creature's bioluminescent nature, depicting the Angler Pokémon in a serene, aquatic environment that highlights its signature antenna. Like many common cards in this cycle, the piece was received as a standard utility card for deck-building, valued primarily by collectors interested in completing the full 214-card set.
