Provenance

Where it came from

The Nidorino card from the 2016 XY Evolutions expansion was released as a tribute to the original 1999 Base Set. Produced to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, the set featured modernized reprints of classic illustrations and layouts, designed to evoke nostalgia for long-time players while introducing the Kanto-region experience to a new generation of collectors.

The artwork for this specific card, illustrated by Ken Sugimori, remains faithful to the original aesthetic he established during the franchise's inception. By retaining the classic pose and distinctive watercolor-inspired style, the design serves as a bridge between the game's early history and its contemporary iteration. It was well-received by the community for its ability to replicate the tactile feeling of the early era cards, albeit with updated card stock and modern holofoil technology.
