Provenance

Where it came from

Released in February 2010 as part of the HeartGold & SoulSilver expansion, this card marked the beginning of a new era for the Pokémon Trading Card Game. The set was designed to coincide with the launch of the Nintendo DS remakes of the classic Game Boy titles, introducing the 'Pokémon Prime' mechanic and a revamped card layout that highlighted the nostalgic connection to the Johto region.

The artwork for this Persian card was created by Kouki Saitou, a prolific illustrator known for his dynamic character poses. Saitou opted for a sleek, feline aesthetic that captures the elegance of the species, fitting the card's colorless typing and its role as a nimble attacker within the TCG's evolving meta-game during the late Nintendo-era block.
