Provenance

Where it came from

Poliwag card 58/95 was released in 2010 as part of the HS—Unleashed expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set marked the second installment in the HeartGold & SoulSilver series, which drew inspiration from the Nintendo DS remakes of the classic Johto-region games. The set was designed to introduce players to the mechanics of Prime Pokémon and the return of the Legend card style, bridging the gap between the nostalgic roots of the franchise and modern competitive play.

The artwork for this particular Poliwag was created by illustrator Kent Kanetsuna. Known for a clean and character-focused aesthetic, Kanetsuna opted for a soft, digital rendering that emphasizes the rounded, aquatic nature of the creature against a simple, light-colored background. As a common card, it served as a foundational piece for players building Water-type decks during the HGSS era, receiving recognition from collectors for its consistent and classic depiction of the fan-favorite tadpole Pokémon.
