Provenance

Where it came from

Tangela (7/147) was released in the Burning Shadows expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game in August 2017. As part of the Sun & Moon Series, the set was designed to introduce mechanics like GX attacks and focused on the themes of darkness and light, reflected in the set's aesthetic and promotional imagery. Tangela, a classic Generation I Pokémon, serves as a common utility card within this expansion, designed to provide foundational grass-type gameplay options for players.

The card features illustration by Kyoko Umemoto, an artist frequently commissioned by The Pokémon Company to bring a consistent, vibrant aesthetic to various sets. Umemoto’s approach for this Tangela highlights the creature's vine-like appendages in a naturalistic, woodland environment. Upon its release, the card was widely distributed in booster packs and theme decks, garnering little individual critical attention as a standard common card, though it remains a nostalgic inclusion for collectors of the Sun & Moon era.
