Provenance

Where it came from

Herdier 87/108 was released in 2012 as part of the Dark Explorers expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set was notable for introducing cards based on the Generation V games, Pokémon Black and White, and focused heavily on Dark-type Pokémon and the mechanics introduced in the preceding Black & White series. It served as a bridge for players integrating newer, more powerful Pokémon into their competitive decks.

The card features an illustration by Midori Harada, a long-time artist for the Pokémon TCG who is recognized for a distinct, painterly style. Harada's design for this Herdier emphasizes the sturdy, loyal nature of the Normal-type Pokémon. Within the meta-game of the time, this card was a standard uncommon inclusion, appreciated by collectors for its clean composition and as a reliable representation of the Lillipup evolutionary line.
