Provenance

Where it came from

The Ivysaur card (167/165) was released in the 2023 Pokémon Scarlet & Violet—151 expansion, a set designed to celebrate the original 151 Pokémon from the Kanto region. This specific card is classified as an 'Illustration Rare,' a design format that emphasizes the work of individual artists by featuring a full-art frame that captures the subject in a naturalistic setting, often highlighting their behavior or habitat rather than just a combat pose.

The artwork for this card was created by artist Jiro Sasumo, who chose to depict Ivysaur resting in a sun-dappled greenhouse environment. The design prioritizes a soft, painterly aesthetic that evokes the feeling of a quiet moment in nature, diverging from the more aggressive, action-oriented illustrations common in standard holographic cards. Upon its release, the card was widely praised by the collector community for its serene composition and the way it elevates a classic starter evolution through thoughtful, immersive illustration.
