Provenance

Where it came from

Released in 2003 as part of the Ruby & Sapphire expansion, this card marked the transition of the Pokémon Trading Card Game to the EX-series era under the management of The Pokémon Company. Following Wizards of the Coast's departure, this set introduced updated card templates, including a cleaner layout and the distinct holographic foil patterns that defined the early 2000s aesthetic.

The Wailord illustration was created by artist Hajime Kusajima, who captured the sheer scale of the character by depicting it from a low-angle perspective amidst a vibrant, stylized ocean. This card was notable for its impressive HP stat at the time of release, reflecting the creature's status as a 'big body' tank in both the video games and the competitive card game metagame.
