Dragonair Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
Dragonair #18 is one of the original non-holo rares from the English Base Set, placing it in the very first main Pokémon TCG expansion that launched the hobby in the West on January 9, 1999.
Set Lore
This card returned in Base Set 2, giving Dragonair one of those classic early-Wizards reprints that tie together two of the most nostalgic set checklists in the game.
Artist
Base Set Dragonair was illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita, a foundational Pokémon TCG artist who has worked on the game since its inception and helped define the look of the earliest cards collectors grew up with.
In-Game
Its Hyper Beam attack is a direct nod to the signature move from the video games, where Hyper Beam was one of the most iconic powerhouse attacks of the original Red, Blue, and Green era that inspired Base Set.
Cultural Impact
Because Base Set was built around Generation I Pokémon from Red, Blue, and Green, Dragonair #18 carries the same early-franchise mystique as the original Kanto era, when Dragon-type Pokémon were still rare and almost mythical to players.
