Where it came from
The Poliwag card, numbered 75/112, was released as part of the FireRed & LeafGreen expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game, which debuted in 2004. This set served as a bridge for players of the Generation III video games, reintroducing iconic Kanto-region Pokémon through the lens of updated mechanics and card designs. It was manufactured by The Pokémon Company and Nintendo to capitalize on the popularity of the Game Boy Advance remakes of the original Red and Green versions.
The illustration was created by artist Mitsuhiro Arita, a foundational figure in the franchise whose work has defined the visual identity of the trading card game since its inception. Arita utilized a clean, watercolor-inspired aesthetic that emphasizes the fluid, simplistic nature of Poliwag, a design choice intended to capture the creature's whimsical movement in water. Upon its release, the common-rarity card was widely distributed in booster packs, becoming a staple for players building Water-type decks and a familiar sight for collectors of the era.
