5 facts about this card
Lotad SH4 is one of the Platinum set's shiny subset cards, and Bulbapedia specifically notes that this card depicts Shiny Lotad rather than its normal coloring.
The official Pokémon TCG Platinum checklist places Lotad as SH4 alongside the set's hidden shiny cards, giving this little Water Weed Pokémon a secret-rare style chase-card aura in the Diamond & Pearl era.
This card's Poké-Body, Swift Swim, is adapted from Lotad's in-game Ability, a neat crossover that ties the card directly to how the species functions in the video games.
Lotad has a memorable anime connection because Brock caught one in 'The Lotad Lowdown,' and that same Pokémon eventually evolved all the way into Brock's famously cheerful Ludicolo.
Masakazu Fukuda illustrated this card, and his style helps sell SH4 as more than a basic Pokémon card—it feels like a spotlight moment for an otherwise humble early-stage Hoenn Pokémon.
