Provenance

Where it came from

The Hippowdon card, numbered 29/130, was released in the base Diamond & Pearl expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game in 2007. This set marked a significant shift in the game's mechanics, introducing the Generation IV Pokémon from the Sinnoh region and ushering in a new visual template for the cards that emphasized cleaner borders and updated font aesthetics.

The card features artwork by illustrator Kouki Saitou, who is well-regarded for his dynamic portrayals of Ground-type Pokémon. Saitou’s design captures Hippowdon’s imposing physical presence and desert-dwelling nature, utilizing the aggressive, earth-toned palette characteristic of Fighting-type cards during the Diamond & Pearl era. Upon release, the card was received as a solid mid-tier inclusion for competitive play due to its tank-like survivability and thematic reliance on sandstorm-related abilities.
