Provenance

Where it came from

The Squirtle card from the Team Rocket expansion was released in 2000 as part of the first Pokémon Trading Card Game set to feature Team Rocket, the franchise's iconic antagonistic organization. This set introduced a darker, more dramatic aesthetic to the game, moving away from the standard bright illustrations of previous expansions to reflect the gritty nature of the villainous group.

The artwork for this particular card was produced by Ken Sugimori, the primary character designer and illustrator for the Pokémon series. Sugimori opted for a composed, classic depiction of the Water-type starter, providing a sense of consistency for fans while the broader set experimented with 'Dark' Pokémon variants and more complex, thematic card designs.
