Provenance

Where it came from

The Venusaur-EX card, numbered 1/83, was released in 2016 as part of the Generations expansion. This set was created by The Pokémon Company International to commemorate the franchise's 20th anniversary, serving as a nostalgic celebration that featured many iconic Pokémon from the original Kanto region. The card depicts the evolved form of Bulbasaur, maintaining the series' long-standing tradition of highlighting starter Pokémon in their most powerful stages.

The illustration is characterized by the distinct, high-gloss aesthetic typical of the EX series, which emphasized bold, dynamic character portraits. As an ultra-rare card, it was designed to appeal to both competitive players who utilized its specific move set in the trading card game and collectors seeking to complete the 20th-anniversary subset. Upon release, it was well-received by fans for its artwork and its thematic role as a centerpiece for the Generations collection.
