Provenance

Where it came from

Slugma 82/105 was released in the Neo Destiny expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, which debuted in North America in 2002. As part of the Neo series, the set was designed to introduce Generation II Pokémon from the Johto region to the card game, building on the momentum established by the Neo Genesis and Neo Discovery sets. It served as a bridge between the classic base mechanics and the expanding roster of species.

The artwork for this card was illustrated by Atsuko Nishida, one of the most significant designers in the franchise's history. Known primarily as the creator of Pikachu's original design, Nishida brought a character-focused approach to this card, emphasizing Slugma’s elemental composition. As a common card, it was widely distributed, aiming to provide players with basic Fire-type options while showcasing the distinct aesthetic style that defined the late-era Wizards of the Coast production run.
