Where it came from
The Growlithe card from the Base Set 2 expansion was released in 2000 as part of a strategic reprint series by Wizards of the Coast. Following the massive success of the original Base Set, this collection was designed to provide players and collectors with accessible versions of popular Pokémon cards that had become difficult to find after the initial run sold out. It consolidated cards from the original Base Set and the Jungle expansion, featuring the updated holographic set symbol to distinguish these reprints from their predecessors.
The illustration for this card was created by Ken Sugimori, whose artwork defines the foundational visual identity of the Pokémon franchise. Sugimori’s style for this era of cards prioritized clean, character-focused poses that highlighted the creature's personality and elemental type. By the time of Base Set 2, the art was already iconic among the player base, and these cards were well-received by fans who valued the opportunity to complete their collections with these established, recognizable designs.
