Provenance

Where it came from

The Swellow card, numbered 41/106, was released in the Pokémon Trading Card Game's EX Emerald expansion in 2005. This set was designed to tie into the aesthetic and narrative of the Pokémon Emerald video game, which had been released on the Game Boy Advance shortly before the card set's debut. The expansion was characterized by its focus on the Hoenn region, bringing its specific roster of creatures to the card game landscape.

The artwork for this particular Swellow card reflects the era's focus on dynamic, illustrative portrayals of Pokémon in their natural habitats. Like many uncommon cards from the EX series, it served as a mid-tier strategic option for players building decks around the Colorless type. While the artwork captures the agile, high-speed nature of the species as depicted in the Generation III games, the card is widely regarded as a staple of the Emerald set's visual documentation of the Hoenn Pokedex.
