Lore

Why it matters

Released in the 2003 EX Sandstorm expansion, this Onix card represents the era when the Pokémon Trading Card Game transitioned to the EX series format. While it is a common card, it remains a nostalgic piece for collectors who appreciate the distinct art style and card design featured during the early years of the Wizards of the Coast and Pokémon organized play transition.

Provenance

Where it came from

The Onix card (71/100) was released in 2003 as part of the EX Sandstorm expansion, the second set in the EX series of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set was notable for introducing the concept of Pokémon-ex and shifting the game's mechanics to feature stronger, high-HP evolutionary lines, marking a transition point in the TCG's competitive landscape during the early 2000s.

The card features an illustration by Mitsuhiro Arita, one of the most prolific and recognized artists in the history of the franchise. His design for this Onix emphasizes the creature's massive, segmented rocky form, capturing a grounded and intimidating presence consistent with his long-standing aesthetic approach to earth-type Pokémon within the series.
