Bulbasaur [Reverse Holo] Card Facts & History
4 facts about this card
Card History
This Dark Explorers Bulbasaur is a humble Common on paper, but its reverse holo version gives collector shine to Pokédex #1 while keeping the classic early-game attack pair of Tackle and Razor Leaf.
Artist
Collectors love seeing Mitsuhiro Arita on a Bulbasaur because Arita has worked on the Pokémon TCG since its inception, making even a Common like this feel tied to the game’s earliest artistic legacy.
Set Lore
Bulbasaur stands out in Dark Explorers because the set is remembered for its darker Black & White-era mood and powerhouse EX cards, so opening a bright Grass-type Kanto starter at card #1 gives the checklist an unexpectedly nostalgic opening note.
In-Game
The flavor of this card matches Bulbasaur’s long-running game identity as the seed-backed starter that grows by drawing nourishment through the bulb on its back, one of the most recognizable origin concepts in the franchise.
