Provenance

Where it came from

The Poliwhirl card numbered 46/112 was released as part of the EX FireRed & LeafGreen expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game, which debuted in 2004. This set served as a nostalgic reimagining of the original Game Boy titles, utilizing the modern EX-era game mechanics to reintroduce classic Generation I Pokémon to a new generation of players while honoring the aesthetic roots of the Kanto region.

The card features artwork by Midori Harada, a prolific illustrator for the series known for her vibrant and clean digital style. Her depiction of Poliwhirl captures the creature in a dynamic aquatic stance, adhering to the established character design while providing a polished, high-contrast look consistent with the graphic design standards of the mid-2000s Pokémon TCG aesthetic.
