Provenance

Where it came from

The Ivysaur card was released in 2001 as part of the Southern Islands collection, a unique promotional set originally released in Japan to coincide with the second Pokémon film. Unlike standard expansion sets, this series focused on tropical themes and lush, artistic interpretations of Pokémon within their natural habitats, designed to encourage thematic collection through island-specific 'beach' and 'rainbow' subsets.

The artwork for this card was created by Keiko Fukuyama, a frequent contributor to the early Pokémon Trading Card Game era known for her soft, painterly aesthetic. Her depiction of Ivysaur emphasizes a gentle, immersive atmosphere, steering away from the intense battle-ready poses common in competitive sets and instead highlighting the character’s integration into the dense, vibrant foliage of the Southern Islands.
