Provenance

Where it came from

The Forretress card from the POP Series 3 set was released in 2006 as part of the Pokémon Organized Play program. These cards were distributed primarily through league events and promotional kits, serving as a way to reward participants and encourage local community gameplay during the Generation III era of the Pokémon Trading Card Game.

The card features artwork by illustrator Kouki Saitou, who is well-regarded for his consistent and clean style across many sets in the mid-2000s. The design emphasizes the metallic, defensive nature of Forretress, capturing the character's tank-like aesthetic while maintaining the functional, straightforward layout typical of the POP series, which favored playability and accessible collecting for league attendees.
