Provenance

Where it came from

The Lotad card from the EX Sandstorm expansion was released in 2003 as part of the transition into the third generation of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set was notable for introducing the EX mechanic and Pokémon-ex, signaling a shift toward more powerful, high-health cards in the competitive landscape. As a common card, this Lotad was designed to be an accessible foundational piece for players looking to incorporate the dual Water and Grass-type creature into their decks during the early Ruby and Sapphire era.

The illustration for this card was created by artist Atsuko Nishida, who has been a pivotal figure in the franchise’s visual identity since its inception. In this rendition, Nishida emphasizes the aquatic, lily-pad-inspired aesthetic of the creature, capturing it in a simple, gentle pose that aligns with the artistic style of the early 2000s sets. The card was well-received by collectors for its clean composition and remains a nostalgic piece for those who started their journey during the EX series of the TCG.
