Provenance

Where it came from

Released in early 2000 as part of the Neo Genesis expansion, this card marked the introduction of the second generation of Pokémon to the trading card game. Coming on the heels of the original Base Set, Neo Genesis was highly anticipated for bringing Johto region creatures to the TCG, expanding the roster for players and collectors alike.

The artwork for this card was created by Ken Sugimori, the primary illustrator and art director for the Pokémon franchise. His design style for this set maintained the classic, clean character-focused aesthetic that defined the early era of the game. As a common card, it was widely distributed in booster packs, serving as an accessible entry point for fans looking to include the franchise mascot in their collection.
