Provenance

Where it came from

The Forretress card from the Call of Legends set, released in early 2011, serves as a retrospective tribute to the Pokémon franchise's history. This expansion was unique in the English market as it compiled various cards from the Japanese Lost Link subset and several promotional releases, acting as a final send-off for the HeartGold & SoulSilver era before the transition to the Black & White series.

The card features artwork by Midori Harada, a prolific illustrator for the Pokémon Trading Card Game known for her distinct, painterly style. By depicting the Bug and Steel-type Forretress in a dynamic, metallic-hued composition, Harada emphasizes the creature's armored defensive nature, a common visual theme in her work from this period. The card was well-received by players for its utility in competitive play due to its 'Iron Shell' Poké-Body, which offered a strategic damage-mitigation effect.
