Provenance

Where it came from

The Tirtouga card, numbered 22/86, was released as part of the Noble Victories expansion in the Pokémon Trading Card Game, which was published in late 2011. This set was based on the Japanese Black & White era expansions, specifically incorporating cards from the Red Collection and the Psycho Drive and Hail Blizzard sets, marking a shift in the game's mechanics to introduce Generation V Pokémon from the Unova region.

The card features artwork by Midori Harada, a prolific contributor to the series known for a distinct, painterly style that often highlights the creature's natural environment. As an uncommon Water-type card, it serves as a basic stage for Carracosta, fitting into the era's focus on fossil-themed mechanics that required players to restore ancient Pokémon using the 'Cover Fossil' trainer card.
