Provenance

Where it came from

The Rattata card, numbered 72/109, was released in the 2004 Pokémon Trading Card Game set titled Team Rocket Returns. This set marked a thematic return to the villainous Team Rocket organization, focusing on 'Dark' Pokémon and mechanisms that emphasized the shadows. As a common card, it served as an accessible foundational piece for players, grounding the set's more complex mechanics with a standard, low-cost evolution line.

The card features artwork by Midori Harada, a prolific illustrator for the franchise known for a clean, expressive style. In this depiction, the artist captures Rattata in a simple, functional posture typical of early-to-mid 2000s card designs, prioritizing clarity for gameplay. It was received as a standard utility card, fitting into the aesthetic narrative of the Team Rocket expansion which leaned into a slightly grittier, more rebellious tone compared to the core base sets.
