Provenance

Where it came from

Released in 2010 as part of the HeartGold & SoulSilver expansion, this card draws its thematic inspiration from the Nintendo DS remakes of the second-generation Pokémon games. The set was designed to reintroduce the Johto region to a new generation of players, emphasizing the bond between trainer and Pokémon. The artwork captures Mantine in its natural aquatic environment, maintaining the clean, vibrant aesthetic that defined the Pokémon Trading Card Game's transition into the late HeartGold & SoulSilver era.

The illustration for this card was crafted to showcase the creature's serene yet imposing silhouette against the backdrop of the ocean. Within the competitive landscape of the time, this card served as a functional uncommon-tier option for water-type decks. Like much of the series, the card was produced by The Pokémon Company and Creatures Inc., aiming to balance accessibility for younger players with the strategic depth required by the broader trading card community.
