Where it came from
Lotad 55/100 was released in 2006 as part of the Pokémon Trading Card Game set titled Crystal Guardians. This set was published during the EX era of the TCG, a period defined by the introduction of dual-type Pokémon and the inclusion of powerful EX cards. The set centers on the fictional Holon region, a place characterized by its unique geographical landscape and the research laboratories investigating the mysterious Delta Species.
The artwork for this card was created by illustrator Aya Kusube, who was a frequent contributor to the series during this era. Kusube’s illustration style captures Lotad in a simplistic, naturalistic setting, emphasizing the creature's lily-pad-like hat. As a common card, it served as a foundational element for players building decks around the set's specific mechanics, though it remained a modest addition to the collection compared to the set's rare holographic counterparts.
