Where it came from
The Pidove card, numbered 11/12, was released as part of the McDonald's Pokémon TCG promotional set in 2011. This campaign was distributed through McDonald's restaurants in North America, pairing a Pokémon trading card with a Happy Meal to capitalize on the popularity of the Black and White generation of games. These cards utilized the same artwork as their Japanese counterparts released earlier that year, serving as a tactical cross-promotion between the fast-food chain and The Pokémon Company.
The design of this Pidove card features artwork by illustrator Mizue, who captured the bird Pokémon in a simplified, accessible style suited for a younger audience. As a colorless-type card, it was intended as a basic-level entry piece for children and new players entering the hobby. While the set is generally considered a common promotional release, it has since become a nostalgic item for collectors who associate the 2011 McDonald's promotion with the era of the Unova region's debut in the trading card game.
