Provenance

Where it came from

The Lotad card from the Platinum expansion was released in 2009 as part of the overarching Pokémon Trading Card Game cycle centered on the Platinum video games. This set introduced the concept of Pokémon SP, featuring cards that represented specific Pokémon belonging to trainers or specific roles, marking a shift in the competitive landscape of the game during the late Diamond and Pearl era.

The artwork for this specific card was rendered by Atsuko Nishida, a longtime designer and illustrator for the franchise known for her foundational work on the series' character designs. The illustration captures the aquatic nature of Lotad in its signature lush, wetland aesthetic, adhering to the standard common-rarity design philosophy of providing clear, accessible imagery to support the set's broader mechanical themes of regional exploration.
