Provenance

Where it came from

The Pelipper card from the Ruby & Sapphire expansion was released in 2003 as part of the first Pokémon Trading Card Game set to feature the third generation of Pokémon. Following the transition of the game's license from Wizards of the Coast to The Pokémon Company International, this set served as a soft reboot for the game mechanics, introducing the concept of Pokémon-ex and updated card templates.

The artwork for this card was illustrated by Ken Sugimori, the primary character designer for the Pokémon franchise. His design choice for this card reflects the clean, minimalist aesthetic that defined the early EX-series era, focusing on Pelipper's distinctive pelican-like silhouette. Upon its release, the card was well-received by players for its utility in early-game decks, contributing to the broader nostalgic appeal of the Ruby & Sapphire generation.
