Where it came from
Shellder, card number 090/165, was released as part of the Pokémon Trading Card Game: Scarlet & Violet—151 expansion in 2023. This set was designed specifically to revisit the original 151 Pokémon from the Kanto region, providing a sense of nostalgia for veteran collectors while introducing modern card mechanics and high-quality artistic renditions to a new generation of players.
The artwork for this card was crafted by illustrator Kouki Saitou, who has contributed to the TCG for many years. His approach for this piece emphasizes the bivalve Pokémon's characteristic shell and tongue, rendered with a clean, vibrant aesthetic that aligns with the contemporary art style of the Scarlet & Violet era. Upon release, the set was widely praised for its thematic cohesion and the inclusion of full-art variants, solidifying its place as a popular centerpiece for collectors focusing on original generation creatures.
