Provenance

Where it came from

Lickitung, card number 48/130, was released as part of the Base Set 2 expansion in 2000. This set was produced by Wizards of the Coast to address the massive demand for the original Pokémon Trading Card Game base set, functioning as a curated reprint collection that featured artwork and mechanics from both the original Base Set and the Jungle expansion. By combining these cards into a single release, Wizards of the Coast provided a way for new players to access staple cards that had become difficult to find as the hobby experienced rapid international growth.

The artwork for this card was created by Ken Sugimori, whose distinctive illustrative style defined the visual identity of the Pokémon franchise during its inception. Sugimori’s design for Lickitung emphasizes its quirky, reptilian physiology and prominent tongue, consistent with the character's appearance in the original Game Boy titles. As an uncommon colorless-type card, it served as a versatile utility piece in many early decks, prized for its ability to apply status effects and its relative accessibility compared to higher-rarity holographic cards in the set.
