Provenance

Where it came from

The Kingler card was released in 1999 as part of the Fossil expansion, the third set of the Pokémon Trading Card Game produced by Wizards of the Coast. This set was designed to introduce the remaining Pokémon from the original Kanto region that had been omitted from the Base Set and Jungle expansions. The cards aimed to reflect the thematic inclusion of prehistoric Pokémon and deep-sea creatures, capitalizing on the immense global popularity of the franchise during its initial boom in the late 1990s.

The illustration was created by Ken Sugimori, the primary character designer and lead illustrator for the Pokémon series. Sugimori's work on this card maintains his signature watercolor-inspired style, emphasizing the character's asymmetrical claws and imposing stature. Upon release, the set was well-received by players and collectors alike, becoming a staple of early card culture due to the nostalgic aesthetic and the accessibility of its uncommon cards within booster packs.
