Provenance

Where it came from

The Parasect card from the Aquapolis expansion was released in 2003 as part of the E-Card Series, a short-lived era of the Pokémon Trading Card Game defined by the Nintendo E-Reader peripheral. This set was unique for its integration with the Game Boy Advance, allowing players to scan cards to unlock Pokédex entries, mini-games, or localized data. The set's aesthetic was marked by a departure from earlier layouts, featuring a clean, minimalist design that prioritized the card's data and visual clarity.

The artwork for this specific card was rendered by artist Midori Harada, a long-time illustrator for the series. Harada’s style often emphasizes a soft, painterly approach to the creatures, and here she captures Parasect’s mushroom-hosting nature with a focus on natural texture. The Aquapolis set is now highly regarded by collectors for its limited print run and distinctive art style, which sought to modernize the game's presentation during the transition period between Wizards of the Coast and The Pokémon Company International.
