Metapod Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
Metapod from Expedition is a neat early e-Card oddity because its attack is Rollout, a move Bulbapedia notes Metapod cannot actually learn in the video games.
Set Lore
This card comes from Expedition Base Set, the first main expansion of the Pokémon TCG's e-Card era, the set that introduced the new Poké-Power and Poké-Body split and the dot-code design made for the Nintendo e-Reader.
In-Game
Metapod’s whole identity in the games is about enduring its cocoon stage, with Pokédex entries repeatedly describing its shell as steel-hard while its body inside stays soft and vulnerable as it prepares to evolve.
Card History
That game lore fits this card perfectly, because Expedition Metapod’s Exoskeleton Poké-Body reduces damage from attacks and turns a famously passive Pokémon into a stubborn little wall.
Artist
Collectors who chase niche illustrator runs may love this one even more, since Bulbapedia lists Yuichi Sawayama as having only five internationally released Pokémon TCG cards, all debuting in Expedition Base Set.
