Provenance

Where it came from

Released in 2005 as part of the Pokémon TCG: EX Emerald expansion, this card captures the Manectric species during the generation three era of the franchise. The set served as a tie-in to the Game Boy Advance titles Pokémon Emerald, drawing its thematic inspiration from the Battle Frontier and the Hoenn region's distinct tropical aesthetic.

The artwork for this specific card was rendered by Mitsuhiro Arita, one of the most prolific and celebrated illustrators in the history of the trading card game. Arita utilized a dynamic, sharp-lined style to emphasize the electric discharge characteristic of the Pokémon, aiming to convey the raw energy and speed associated with the Electric-type, a visual signature that helped define the look of the EX-era cards.
