Provenance

Where it came from

The Golem card from the Dragon set was released in 2003 as part of the Expedition-era of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set marked a significant transition for the game, as it was produced by The Pokémon Company following the end of Wizards of the Coast's primary licensing period, reflecting a shift in aesthetic design and card layout that emphasized the creature's type and elemental affinities.

The artwork was created by Ken Sugimori, the primary character designer for the Pokémon franchise. Sugimori sought to capture the Golem's imposing, tectonic nature through a stylized, clean illustration that contrasted with the more experimental holographic foil patterns introduced during this era. The card was well-received by players for its utility in Fighting-type decks, becoming a staple for those looking to leverage high-damage potential in the competitive landscape of the early 2000s.
