Provenance

Where it came from

The Ivysaur card from the Base Set 2 collection was released in 2000 as part of a strategic reprint series designed to keep popular Pokémon cards in circulation after the original print run of the Base Set concluded. This set functioned as a bridge for players and collectors, combining key cards from the original Base Set and the Jungle expansion into one updated catalogue, helping to maintain the momentum of the trading card game during its initial period of explosive global growth.

The illustration features artwork by Mitsuhiro Arita, whose distinctive style became synonymous with the early Pokémon aesthetic. Arita sought to capture the organic, creature-based nature of the series, balancing technical battle stats with a biological sensibility. The card, while designated as an uncommon entry, remains a staple for collectors of early generation material due to its inclusion in this specific transitional set and its classic depiction of the evolution line.
