Provenance

Where it came from

The Lileep card, numbered 42/100, was released as part of the EX Sandstorm expansion in September 2003. This set marked the second installment of the EX series in the Pokémon Trading Card Game, which introduced the mechanic of Pokémon-ex. The set was thematic, focusing on the desert environment of the Hoenn region and the fossil-based Pokémon introduced in the third generation of the video games.

The illustration for this card was created by artist Mitsuhiro Arita, a veteran of the franchise known for his foundational work on the original Base Set. Arita designed this Lileep to reflect its status as a prehistoric Rock/Grass type, emphasizing the creature's tentacled appearance and fossilized origins. The card was well-received by players of the era for its functional role in utilizing the Fossil mechanism, a staple of the competitive landscape at the time.
