Blaine [1st Edition] Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
This card is one of the unusual Gym Challenge Trainer rares that was printed in English as both a holofoil and a non-holo, giving Blaine a premium treatment usually reserved for Pokémon rather than Support-style character cards.
Set Lore
Blaine fits the Gym Challenge theme perfectly because the set spotlights Kanto Gym Leaders and their signature strategies, turning the Cinnabar Gym Leader himself into a deck-acceleration card for Pokémon with Blaine in their names.
Artist
The artwork is by Ken Sugimori, Pokémon’s original character designer, which gives this card the same classic character-art pedigree collectors chase across many Wizards of the Coast era releases.
In-Game
Blaine is the Fire-type Gym Leader of Cinnabar Island, known in the games as 'The Hotheaded Quiz Master,' and his quiz-filled Gym identity makes a character card like this feel especially tied to Kanto’s original badge quest.
Card History
Blaine’s anime debut was in 'Riddle Me This,' the Cinnabar Island episode built around riddles and his volcanic Gym persona, which helped cement him as one of the most memorable early Kanto leaders beyond the games.
