Provenance

Where it came from

The Poliwag card numbered 37/214 was released in the 2019 Pokémon Trading Card Game expansion titled Unbroken Bonds. This set drew its inspiration from the Sun & Moon era of the franchise, specifically focusing on the theme of 'TAG TEAM' Pokémon-GX, which paired iconic creatures together in powerful combinations. The expansion was designed to introduce strategic synergy to the competitive meta while maintaining the nostalgic appeal of classic Generation I Pokémon.

The artwork for this specific card was rendered by illustrator sowsow. Known for a soft, painterly aesthetic, sowsow captures the tadpole Pokémon in a serene, aquatic environment that emphasizes the creature's simple yet endearing design. Upon release, the card was widely received by collectors as a quintessential common-tier addition, valued for its clean composition and the consistent, high-quality art direction that defines the modern era of the trading card game.
