Lore

Why it matters

This Corphish card from the 2003 EX Dragon expansion captures the early era of the Pokémon Trading Card Game as it transitioned into the third generation of the franchise. While common in rarity, this card is a nostalgic piece for collectors who focus on the Ruby and Sapphire sets and the introduction of Hoenn region species to the game.

Provenance

Where it came from

Corphish (53/97) was released in 2003 as part of the EX Dragon expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set marked a significant transitional period for the game, following the transition of ownership from Wizards of the Coast to The Pokémon Company and Nintendo. As a common card, Corphish was designed to serve as a functional building block for players, reflecting the creature's status as a staple Water-type Pokémon introduced in the third generation of the franchise.

The card features an illustration by Midori Harada, an artist known for her distinct, soft approach to the Pokémon roster. Harada’s design for this particular card captures Corphish in a straightforward, characteristic pose that emphasizes its crustacean anatomy. As a common card within the set, its reception was primarily rooted in its utility for competitive play during the EX-series era, where the card’s simple mechanics provided reliable water-type support for evolving or stalling strategies.
