Provenance

Where it came from

Released in August 2005 as part of the EX Unseen Forces expansion, this card represents the iconic tadpole Pokémon within the long-running Pokémon Trading Card Game. The set focused heavily on the Johto region, specifically highlighting the legendary beasts and the mysteries of the Ruins of Alph, bridging the gap between earlier generations and the evolving competitive meta of the mid-2000s.

The artwork for this Poliwag was created by illustrator Mitsuhiro Arita, a foundational artist for the franchise known for his painterly style and ability to capture the personality of individual Pokémon. By depicting Poliwag in a serene, water-focused environment, Arita emphasizes the creature's simple, endearing design, which has remained largely unchanged since its debut in the late 1990s as a cornerstone of the original 151.
