Provenance

Where it came from

Tangela (8/83) was released in 2016 as part of the Generations expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set was specifically designed to commemorate the franchise's 20th anniversary, drawing inspiration from the original Red and Blue video games and the earliest iterations of the card game. The set was notable for its inclusion of the 'Radiant Collection,' a subset of cards featuring stylized, artist-driven illustrations.

The artwork for this specific card was rendered by illustrator Kouki Saitou, who has contributed extensively to the Pokémon TCG since the early 2000s. Saitou’s approach for this Tangela focused on the character's signature tangled vines and gentle demeanor, utilizing soft lines to capture the creature in a natural, serene environment. The card was received by collectors as a nostalgic nod to the Kanto region, serving as a functional, common-rarity staple within the anniversary release.
