Provenance

Where it came from

Jynx first appeared in the Base Set 2 expansion, released in 2000 as a follow-up to the original Pokémon Trading Card Game sets. Designed to provide players with a more accessible way to collect cards from the initial Base Set and Jungle expansions, Base Set 2 featured reprinted artwork, including the iconic Ken Sugimori illustration of Jynx that had defined the character’s aesthetic since its debut in the late 1990s.

The character Jynx was designed by the Game Freak development team during the early stages of the Pokémon franchise. The card itself, numbered 45/130, utilizes the standard layout established by Wizards of the Coast for English-language releases at the time. While the card is categorized as an Uncommon rarity, its inclusion in Base Set 2 solidified its presence in the early competitive meta and secondary market for players seeking to complete their collections.
