Provenance

Where it came from

The Magikarp card from the EX Dragon expansion was released in 2003 as part of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, marking a period when the game was managed by The Pokémon Company and published by Nintendo. As a common card in the 60/97 slot, it was designed to be widely accessible, reflecting the character's status in the franchise as a notoriously weak yet iconic Pokémon that evolves into the powerful Gyarados.

The artwork for this specific card was illustrated by Midori Harada, an artist well-regarded for her soft, expressive style within the Pokémon TCG community. Her approach for this piece emphasizes Magikarp's humble and somewhat comical nature, utilizing a gentle color palette and fluid line work that captures the creature in its natural aquatic environment, fitting perfectly into the thematic structure of the EX Dragon set.
