Where it came from
Released in 2003 as part of the Ruby & Sapphire expansion, this card marked the debut of the Generation III Pokémon in the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Following the shift in ownership of the franchise's card game operations to The Pokémon Company, this set introduced updated card layouts and mechanics to align with the Game Boy Advance titles, Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire.
The card features artwork by Ken Sugimori, the primary character designer for the Pokémon series. His illustration captures Swampert in a dynamic, battle-ready stance consistent with his signature minimalist aesthetic. As one of the marquee Stage 2 evolutions in the set, the card was well-received by players of the era for its competitive utility and serves as a significant nostalgic touchstone for collectors of the transition into the EX era.
