Venusaur Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
Base Set Venusaur stands out as one of the original holo rares, and its Energy Trans Pokémon Power made it a memorable early-game engine by letting Grass Energy slide around your board before attacking with Solarbeam.
Artist
This card was illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita, one of the defining artists of the original Pokémon TCG era, and Venusaur is specifically cited among the iconic Base Set cards that helped shape his legacy with collectors.
In-Game
The card’s solar-powered identity is perfectly on-theme for Venusaur in the games, where Pokédex entries describe it absorbing sunlight for energy and becoming revitalized when its flower opens to the sun.
Card History
With 100 HP, a Stage 2 line, and a giant holo presence in the original Base Set, Venusaur felt like a true boss pull in 1999 and remains one of the centerpiece cards from Pokémon’s first English release.
Set Lore
Because Venusaur is part of the original Base Set, this holo is tied directly to the launch era that introduced many collectors to the Pokémon TCG and helped define what a classic vintage hit looks like.
