Bulbasaur Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
This Illustration Rare version of Bulbasaur was introduced in Scarlet & Violet—151, a special expansion built around collecting all original 151 Kanto Pokémon in Pokédex order, which makes card #166 feel like a modern tribute to the franchise’s very first Grass starter.
Artist
Yoriyuki Ikegami’s artwork gives this card extra collector appeal because Bulbasaur’s 151 entry exists in both a regular print and this separate full-art Illustration Rare treatment, making the Ikegami version the showcase copy of the card.
In-Game
This card’s flavor text echoes Bulbasaur’s official Pokédex identity as a Pokémon born with a seed on its back that fuels its early growth, tying the artwork directly to the species’ origin story from the games.
Card History
Bulbasaur carries extra nostalgia for longtime fans because Ash’s Bulbasaur became one of the anime’s most dependable early partners and was eventually trusted to act as a peacekeeping ambassador at Professor Oak’s lab.
Set Lore
Scarlet & Violet—151 was marketed as a return to where many Pokémon journeys began, spotlighting Bulbasaur alongside Charmander and Squirtle as the iconic first partner trio that defined Kanto for a generation of collectors.
