Where it came from
Released in January 2003, the Aquapolis expansion was the third main set in the e-Card Series of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set was notable for its integration with the Nintendo e-Reader peripheral, which allowed players to scan dot-code strips on the cards to unlock mini-games, Pokédex data, and animations. The series was designed to bridge the gap between physical card play and the digital experiences found in the Game Boy Advance games.
The Steelix card, numbered 35/147, features artwork by illustrator Naoyo Kimura. As part of the transition into the e-Reader era, the card design underwent a significant layout shift to accommodate the scanning strip at the bottom, resulting in a reduced art window compared to earlier WOTC-era sets. The Aquapolis set is now highly regarded by collectors for its distinct aesthetic and the relative scarcity of its print run compared to earlier sets, as it was released toward the end of Wizards of the Coast's tenure as the game's publisher.
