Provenance

Where it came from

The Wartortle card from the Crystal Guardians expansion was released in 2006 as part of the Pokémon Trading Card Game's EX series. This set introduced the mechanic of Delta Species Pokémon, which featured creatures with altered elemental typings and unique holographic treatments, set within the context of the Holon region research facilities.

The artwork for this specific card was rendered by illustrator Ken Sugimori, a foundational figure in the franchise’s visual identity. Sugimori’s design style for this era emphasizes clean, precise linework and an approachable aesthetic that prioritizes clarity, consistent with the functional requirements of the card game during the mid-2000s.
