Where it came from
The Magikarp card numbered 72/123 was released in 2010 as part of the HeartGold & SoulSilver expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set was designed to commemorate the release of the Nintendo DS remakes of the classic second-generation video games, bridging the gap between original fans of the franchise and a new generation of players by featuring Pokémon and mechanics updated to fit the modern era of the game.
The illustration for this card was created by artist Kagemaru Himeno, a long-time contributor to the Pokémon TCG known for her soft, character-focused style. Himeno opted to depict Magikarp in a serene, aquatic setting that leans into the creature’s reputation as a simple, unassuming fish. As a common card, it served as a foundational piece for players building water-type decks and remains a nostalgic staple for collectors focusing on the HeartGold & SoulSilver era.
