Provenance

Where it came from

Tangela (76/99) was released in the Arceus expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, which debuted in late 2009. As part of the Platinum Series, this set served as a tribute to the Mythical Pokémon Arceus and featured a unique mechanic that allowed players to include multiple Arceus cards in their decks. The expansion sought to bridge the transition between the Platinum era and the upcoming HeartGold & SoulSilver sets, reflecting a period of refined card design and complex mechanics.

The card features an illustration by Midori Harada, a prolific artist who has contributed hundreds of pieces to the franchise since the early 2000s. Harada’s design style for this Tangela emphasizes the creature's whimsical, vine-covered nature within a lush, natural environment. Like many common-tier cards of this era, the design prioritize accessibility and clear visual storytelling, maintaining the consistent aesthetic language that defined the Platinum block and remained well-received by players and collectors seeking to complete the 99-card set.
