Provenance

Where it came from

The Gulpin card from the Arceus expansion was released in November 2009 as part of the Pokémon Trading Card Game's Platinum Series. The set focused on the Mythical Pokémon Arceus and aimed to highlight the versatility of the franchise through varied card mechanics and artwork that celebrated the expansive world of the Sinnoh region.

The illustration for this card was created by artist Ken Sugimori, whose distinctive clean-line style has defined the aesthetic of the franchise since its inception. Sugimori’s work on this card depicts the creature in its characteristic round, docile posture, emphasizing the simplicity of its design while maintaining the consistent visual language expected of the common and uncommon card tiers during the Platinum era.
