Provenance

Where it came from

The Switch card, numbered 88/108, was released in 2016 as part of the Pokémon Trading Card Game expansion XY—Evolutions. This set was designed as a nostalgic tribute to the original 1999 Base Set, reimagining classic cards with modern card frames and updated mechanics. It served to celebrate the franchise's 20th anniversary, allowing players to experience a refined version of the foundational gameplay that defined the early era of the hobby.

The artwork for this particular iteration of Switch features clean, minimalist design typical of the series' utility items. By utilizing updated graphic standards while maintaining the recognizable identity of the original base set, the designers aimed to bridge the gap between veteran collectors and new players. Upon release, the set was widely received as a successful homage, though the high print volume of the expansion ensured that the uncommon Switch card remained accessible to the general player base.
