Provenance

Where it came from

The Horsea card from the EX Dragon expansion, released in 2003, represents a period when the Pokémon Trading Card Game was transitioning under the management of The Pokémon Company International following the move from Wizards of the Coast. The set was designed to introduce the Dragon-type as a formal mechanic, reflecting the franchise's shift toward incorporating more complex dual-type and legendary Pokémon interactions during the third generation of the video games.

The illustration is credited to Mitsuhiro Arita, one of the most prolific and iconic artists in the early history of the card game. His design for this specific Horsea captures the creature in a serene, aquatic environment, utilizing his signature style of clean lines and soft, expressive coloring. Upon its release, the card was well-received by players and collectors alike for its consistent aesthetic quality, which helped maintain a sense of visual continuity during a significant era of corporate change for the series.
