Provenance

Where it came from

The Lotad card (SH4/127) was released in 2009 as part of the Pokémon Trading Card Game: Platinum expansion. This set marked a transition in the game, focusing heavily on the Sinnoh region and the introduction of the powerful SP Pokémon. The card itself is a Shiny Pokémon variant, characterized by its distinct holographic foil pattern and a different coloration than the standard Lotad, making it a sought-after 'secret' rarity for collectors of the era.

The design of the Shiny Lotad, featuring its signature turquoise and gold color palette, reflects the meticulous artwork common to the Platinum-era special subset cards. These cards were designed to highlight the allure of rare shiny variants first introduced in the Generation II video games. Upon release, these cards were well-received by the player base and collectors alike, who valued the unique aesthetic and the lower pull rates that defined these specific chase cards within the expansion.
