Where it came from
Gloom 49/147 was released as part of the Aquapolis expansion in the Pokémon Trading Card Game, which debuted in 2002. As the third installment of the e-Card Series, Aquapolis introduced technology allowing cards to be scanned by the Nintendo e-Reader peripheral. This set was unique for its complex dual-type designs and the inclusion of crystal-type Pokémon, marking a significant transition in the game's mechanics and graphical presentation during the late Wizards of the Coast era.
The artwork for this card was provided by Keiko Fukumoto, who contributed a soft, watercolor-inspired aesthetic that became synonymous with the style of the e-Card sets. The design emphasizes a gentle, grounded depiction of the grass-type Pokémon, prioritizing a painterly quality over the more aggressive action-oriented art seen in later generations. Upon release, the set was praised for its aesthetic consistency, though the complicated mechanical integration of the e-Reader technology meant it remains a distinct niche in Pokémon card history.
