Provenance

Where it came from

The Raticate card 29/99 was released in 2009 as part of the Arceus expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set was notable for its heavy focus on the Mythical Pokémon Arceus, featuring multiple versions of the character with different elemental types to reflect its lore-based ability to change form. The set served as a closing chapter for the Diamond & Pearl era, preceding the transition into the HeartGold & SoulSilver series.

The artwork for this card was created by Kouki Saitou, a long-standing contributor to the Pokémon TCG known for his dynamic and character-focused illustrations. In this design, Raticate is depicted in a high-energy pose consistent with the visual style of the late 2000s sets, which often emphasized the aggressive or tactical nature of the creatures. As a rare card within the Arceus expansion, it was designed to provide utility for colorless-type decks while serving as a standard pull for players and collectors navigating the meta of the era.
