Provenance

Where it came from

The Paras card, numbered 76/123, was released as part of the HeartGold & SoulSilver expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, which debuted in early 2010. This set was designed to coincide with the release of the Nintendo DS titles Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, serving as a nostalgic bridge for players by featuring creatures and themes from the original Johto region games.

The artwork for this specific card was illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita, a veteran artist in the Pokémon TCG franchise known for his foundational work on the original Base Set. Arita’s approach for this piece emphasizes the creature's connection to its fungal host, utilizing soft, naturalistic tones to capture Paras in a quiet, forest setting consistent with the set's intent to revitalize classic character designs for a modern generation.
