Provenance

Where it came from

The Wartortle card from the Expedition Base Set was released in 2002 as part of the Pokémon Trading Card Game's transition into the e-Reader era. This set was a significant departure from previous releases, introducing a dot-code strip along the left side of the cards that, when scanned by a Game Boy Advance e-Reader peripheral, unlocked digital content such as animations or mini-games within specific Game Boy Advance titles.

The artwork for this card was created by illustrator Midori Harada, who rendered the Pokémon in a clean, digital style consistent with the updated aesthetic of the Expedition set. As an uncommon card, it served as a functional middle stage in the evolutionary line, and while it was not as sought after as the holographic rares of the era, it remains a distinct relic of the short-lived experiment to integrate physical card games with early 2000s handheld gaming technology.
