Provenance

Where it came from

Released in early 2000, Base Set 2 served as a strategic compilation by Wizards of the Coast to keep popular cards available to players after the original Base Set and Jungle expansion went out of print. The set acted as a bridge for the hobby, consolidating sought-after creatures into a single collection to maintain the momentum of the Pokémon Trading Card Game's initial explosive growth in the Western market.

The artwork for this card, featuring Hitmonchan in its signature punching stance, was illustrated by Ken Sugimori, the primary designer and character artist for the Pokémon franchise. His work during this era is defined by a clean, watercolor-inspired aesthetic that prioritized the personality and physical posture of the creature. Upon its release, Hitmonchan was highly regarded by competitive players for its 'Agility' and 'Comet Punch' moves, making this holographic version a centerpiece for both collectors and active tournament participants.
