This card was no slouch on the Pokémon battlefields of playgrounds everywhere when it was introduced by Wizards of the Coast in English with the first set of the game, the illustrious Base Set, back in 1999. Children across the world would clamor to get these into their collections, with some even going so far as to make dealings with counterfeiters in the early days of the game (to the obvious dismay of those children, of course). Illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita, this card has become one of only a few gold-standard trading cards outside of the sports world.
