Provenance

Where it came from

Hippopotas, card number 68/156, was released as part of the Ultra Prism expansion in the Pokémon Trading Card Game, which debuted in early 2018. This set marked the introduction of Prism Star cards and focused on the Sinnoh region, drawing inspiration from the Pokémon Sun and Moon generation. As a common card, it was designed to be accessible to players building decks within the expanding Alolan and Sinnoh-themed metagame.

The artwork for this particular card was illustrated by Shibuzoh, who depicted the Hippo Pokémon in a desert setting that highlights its ground-type affinity. The design follows the standard layout established for the Sun and Moon series, emphasizing a clean, readable aesthetic for functional gameplay. While the card is a standard common, it remains a consistent representation of the species within the broader Pokémon TCG library, valued primarily by set completionists and players looking for specific type coverage.
