Where it came from
The Dugtrio card was released in 2002 as part of the Expedition Base Set, a landmark expansion in the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set was the first to introduce the e-Reader technology, which allowed players to scan dot-code strips on the cards to unlock minigames or Pokédex entries on the Game Boy Advance. It marked a significant shift in the game's presentation, transitioning from the aesthetic style of the original Wizards of the Coast sets to the more structured design language seen in the e-Card Series.
The illustration for this card was created by artist Kagemaru Himeno, a staple illustrator for the early years of the franchise. Himeno utilized a clean, approachable style that emphasized the distinct three-headed appearance of the Ground-type Pokémon emerging from the soil. While the card did not achieve the status of the holographic chase cards within the set, it was well-received by players for its tactical utility and remains a nostalgic piece for those who collected during the early transition of the game's design direction.
