Provenance

Where it came from

The Meowth card from the Expedition Base Set was released in 2002, marking a significant evolution in the Pokémon Trading Card Game. As the first set in the E-Card series, it introduced the Nintendo E-Reader technology, which allowed players to scan dot-codes on the side of the cards into a Game Boy Advance to unlock game data, Pokédex entries, or mini-games. This transition reflected a period of modernization for the game as ownership moved more firmly toward Nintendo.

The card features artwork by illustrator Kyoko Umemoto, who contributed several pieces to this set. The design adheres to the cleaner, more structured layout of the Expedition era, which shifted away from the early Base Set aesthetics to accommodate the technological requirements of the E-Reader strips. While common in rarity, the card is highly recognizable for its inclusion of the classic Scratch and Pay Day attacks, staying true to Meowth's character profile in the original anime and video games.
