Provenance

Where it came from

Released in 2003 as part of the Skyridge expansion, this card represents the final set of the Pokémon Trading Card Game produced by Wizards of the Coast before the license transitioned to The Pokémon Company. The set is highly regarded by collectors for its integration with the Nintendo GameCube game Pokémon Colosseum, featuring unique e-Reader compatibility that allowed players to scan cards to unlock specific data or minigames.

The artwork for this Forretress card was illustrated by Midori Harada, a prolific artist known for her distinct, painterly style that often emphasizes the creature's environment. As a common card from the twilight of the Wizards of the Coast era, it features the refined aesthetic characteristic of the e-Card series, balancing functional gameplay design with the intricate card layout required for the e-Reader technology of the time.
