Provenance

Where it came from

The Poliwag card numbered 30/149 was released as part of the Sun & Moon base expansion, which launched in early 2017 to introduce the Alola region to the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set marked the debut of the Pokémon-GX mechanic, shifting the competitive landscape, though this specific common card was designed for standard gameplay utility and to expand the representation of Water-type Pokémon within the new generation of cards.

The artwork for this card was illustrated by sui, who has contributed numerous illustrations to the franchise. The design captures Poliwag in a gentle, aquatic environment, maintaining the classic aesthetic established by the species' original appearance in the Generation I games. Upon release, the card was widely distributed in booster packs and theme decks, serving as a functional, accessible piece for both casual players and collectors building out their regional Pokédex collections.
