Provenance

Where it came from

Released in 2003 as part of the EX Dragon expansion, this Dratini card reflects the transition into the third generation of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Following the acquisition of the license by The Pokémon Company and the shift in manufacturing to the EX series, the set introduced new mechanics and updated visual aesthetics to align with the Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire video games.

The card features artwork by illustrator Kyoko Umemoto, who depicts the serpent-like Pokémon in a serene, stylized aquatic environment. During this era of the game, artists were encouraged to utilize more dynamic digital techniques, moving away from the watercolor textures seen in earlier base sets. As an uncommon colorless-type card, it served as a functional building block for players looking to evolve their deck toward the powerful Dragonite cards also featured in the set.
