Lore

Why it matters

As part of the Paldean Fates set, this Shiny Rare version of Pidgey stands out for its distinct alternate coloration, which is a hallmark of the rare Shiny Pokémon variants found in the modern trading card game. Collectors prize these cards for their unique aesthetic and the specific challenge of finding the shimmering, non-standard palette in booster packs.

Provenance

Where it came from

Pidgey, card number 196/91, was released as part of the Paldean Fates expansion, which debuted in early 2024. This set serves as a specialty collection focused on the Paldea region, primarily featuring Shiny Pokémon that were originally introduced in the Scarlet and Violet video games. As a Shiny Rare, this card represents the modern tradition of the Pokémon Trading Card Game where specific, rarer color variants of established creatures are highlighted for their distinct aesthetic appeal and collector desirability.

The card features an illustration by artist Sanosuke Sakuma, who has contributed numerous designs to the series. The aesthetic for this specific card emphasizes the Shiny variant of Pidgey, which is distinguished by its golden-brown plumage rather than the standard muted colors. The card design is intended to capture the classic essence of this early-generation flying type while aligning with the high-gloss, premium finish characteristic of modern Shiny Rare collectibles. It was received as a sought-after staple within the set for players and enthusiasts of early-generation Pokémon.
