Moltres [1st Edition] Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
This is the non-holo Fossil printing of Moltres, so collectors get the same legendary bird and dramatic Mitsuhiro Arita artwork as the holo version in a rarer-in-spirit low-gloss presentation unique to card #27/62.
Set Lore
Fossil was the third main English Pokémon TCG expansion, released on October 10, 1999, which gives this 1st Edition Moltres a place in the earliest wave of Wizards of the Coast era collecting.
Card History
Moltres was the first of the legendary bird trio to appear in the anime, debuting in "All Fired Up!" before becoming central to the story of Pokémon the Movie 2000.
In-Game
In the games, Moltres is one of Kanto’s three legendary birds, and Bulbapedia notes it is the only one whose in-game location changed between Pokémon Red/Green and FireRed/LeafGreen, adding extra mystique to its early-era legacy.
Artist
This card was illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita, one of the foundational artists of the original Pokémon TCG, whose work helped define the visual identity of vintage Kanto cards for an entire generation of collectors.
