Provenance

Where it came from

Released in 2002, the Expedition Base Set marked a significant shift in the Pokémon Trading Card Game, introducing the e-Reader technology which allowed players to scan cards into a Game Boy Advance for mini-games and Pokédex data. This Tauros card, numbered 133/165, features the classic, stoic design typical of the set's transition toward a more refined aesthetic, intended to integrate seamlessly with the digital features of the e-Reader.

The card was illustrated by Ken Sugimori, the primary character designer for the Pokémon franchise. His work during this era moved away from the more experimental art styles seen in earlier sets, favoring clean, minimalist poses that emphasized the creature's anatomy. As a common card, it served as a foundational element of the set, providing players with a reliable colorless-type Pokémon that reflected the rugged, wild nature of Tauros as it appeared in the Johto region games.
