Joltik [Reverse Holo] Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
This Dark Explorers printing is the more collectible of the set’s two English Joltik cards because #42 features the Pokémon White Pokédex flavor text and the single-attack "Static Shock" layout tied to its Japanese Dark Rush counterpart.
Artist
Miki Tanaka’s artwork places Joltik in Chargestone Cave, a memorable Unova location strongly associated with Electric-types, giving this common card a scene that instantly connects it to the Black & White games.
In-Game
Joltik itself is a Generation V Pokémon first introduced in Pokémon Black and White, so this BW-era card captures the species in the same generation that originally debuted it.
Set Lore
Dark Explorers is a Black & White expansion best known for its darker Unova lineup, and this Joltik sits inside the same checklist as chase cards like Darkrai-EX and Raikou-EX, which gives even a common reverse holo a nostalgic place in a heavyweight set.
Cultural Impact
Collectors often love Joltik because its tiny size is part of its identity in canon lore: the Pokédex describes it latching onto larger Pokémon to siphon static electricity, making this little reverse holo feel like a miniature sleeper hit in binder form.
