Where it came from
Released in 2003 as part of the Skyridge expansion, this card represents the final set produced by Wizards of the Coast for the Pokémon Trading Card Game before the license transitioned to The Pokémon Company. The set is highly regarded by collectors for its E-Reader technology, which allowed players to scan cards into a Game Boy Advance to unlock special content, marking a sophisticated intersection of physical and digital gaming in the early 2000s.
The Forretress illustration was created by artist Atsuko Nishida, who is widely known for her original design of Pikachu. Her work on this card captures the mechanical, defensive nature of the species through a detailed, industrial art style that fits the aesthetic of the late E-series era. Upon release, the card was prized for its metal typing and unique ability to disrupt gameplay, remaining a cornerstone of the Skyridge set's legacy due to the limited print run and the transition of the game's production shortly thereafter.
