Lore

Why it matters

The Old Rod from the Dragon Frontiers set is a trainer card that allows players to retrieve a Pokémon from their discard pile, provided they win a coin flip. Its utility in managing resources makes it a practical inclusion for competitive decks, and it remains a recognizable relic from the mid-2000s era of the Pokémon Trading Card Game.

Provenance

Where it came from

The Old Rod card was released as part of the EX Dragon Frontiers expansion in November 2006. This set served as the final installment in the EX series, focusing on the mysterious Delta Species variants that featured Pokémon with shifted elemental typings. The inclusion of utility Trainer cards like Old Rod was intended to balance the competitive environment by allowing players to recover discarded resources during a match.

The illustration for this specific printing was created by artist Ryo Ueda. Known for a distinct, clean aesthetic that prioritizes clarity, Ueda’s work on this card depicts the classic fishing tool with a minimalist approach. The design was received as a functional, straightforward staple, consistent with the utility-focused items found throughout the third generation of the Pokémon Trading Card Game.
