Dratini [Shadowless] Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
Base Set Dratini is a clean snapshot of early TCG design, appearing as a Basic Colorless Pokémon with only Pound for 10 damage before Dragon-types existed as their own card type in the game.
Artist
This card is illustrated by Ken Sugimori, the artist who created the original watercolor-style public artwork for all 151 first-generation Pokémon, giving Dratini a direct visual link to Pokémon’s earliest identity.
Set Lore
What makes this copy especially collectible is the Shadowless print run: English Base Set had a short transitional version without the 1st Edition stamp and without the later added card-frame shadow, making Shadowless cards a distinct early-wave release.
In-Game
Dratini’s Pokédex text on this card comes from Pokémon Red and Blue, where it was described as a once-mythical Pokémon only recently confirmed by the discovery of a small underwater colony.
Card History
Collectors also love this card for a quirky bit of history: its lone attack is Pound, a move Bulbapedia notes Dratini cannot actually learn in the core video games.
