Koga's Beedrill [1st Edition] Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
Koga's Beedrill is the English Gym Challenge holo version of the Japanese card "Kyou's Spear," tying this card directly to Koga's ninja-themed identity rather than a generic Beedrill print.
Artist
This holo was illustrated by Ken Sugimori, the original Pokémon character designer, which gives the card extra historical weight for collectors who love early franchise artwork.
In-Game
Koga is one of the few major trainers whose story evolves across the games, starting as Fuchsia Gym Leader in Pokémon Red, Blue, Yellow, FireRed, LeafGreen, and Let's Go before being promoted to the Indigo Plateau Elite Four in Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold, and SoulSilver.
Card History
Koga debuted in the anime in "The Ninja Poké-Showdown," and because he later becomes an Elite Four member in the games, that episode is technically the anime's first appearance of an Elite Four character.
Set Lore
Gym Challenge was released only in English in both 1st Edition and unlimited printings, making a 1st Edition holo like Koga's Beedrill especially emblematic of the late Wizards-era Gym Leader cards collectors chase today.
