Provenance

Where it came from

Poliwhirl number 24/108 was released in the 2016 XY—Evolutions expansion, a set designed to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the Pokémon franchise. The set served as a nostalgic reimagining of the original Base Set, utilizing updated mechanics and modern card templates while retaining the iconic artwork style that defined the early era of the trading card game.

The card features artwork by the veteran illustrator Ken Sugimori, whose work has been central to the visual identity of Pokémon since its inception. In this iteration, the illustration reflects the classic aesthetic of the original 1996 design, capturing the creature's signature swirling pattern and amphibious charm in a way that resonated with longtime fans and collectors during the anniversary celebration.
