Provenance

Where it came from

Koga's Koffing, numbered 79/132, was released in the Gym Challenge expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game in 2000. This set was designed to feature the signature Pokémon of the Kanto region's Gym Leaders, moving away from the typical species-based categorization to focus on the narrative of the original games. It served as a bridge for players to engage with the distinct trainer themes that defined the competitive landscape of the era.

The card features artwork by Ken Sugimori, the primary illustrator for the franchise who established the clean, iconic aesthetic of the original generation. His work on this set aimed to capture the personalities of the Gym Leaders, depicting their Pokémon through a lens of loyalty and training. Upon its release, the card was widely distributed as a common rarity, becoming a staple for players building decks around the Poison-type mechanics associated with Koga, the Fuchsia City Gym Leader.
