Bulbasaur Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Set Lore
Bulbasaur #45 is part of EX Crystal Guardians, the August 30, 2006 ex-era expansion set on a mysterious island where crystals were said to grant special powers, giving even a common Kanto starter a place in one of the era’s most atmospheric releases.
Card History
This card is one of the regular set’s common Pokémon in EX Crystal Guardians, and the set was also released with Reverse Holofoil versions, which gives collectors a second chase version of the same Bulbasaur artwork.
Artist
Bulbasaur #45 was illustrated by Sumiyoshi Kizuki, a longtime Pokémon TCG artist whose soft, crayon-like style dates back to the Team Rocket expansion and makes this card instantly recognizable to art-focused collectors.
Card History
Bulbasaur carries extra nostalgia because Ash’s Bulbasaur famously resisted evolution in 'Bulbasaur’s Mysterious Garden,' turning the species into a symbol of loyalty and individuality for longtime anime fans.
Cultural Impact
Bulbasaur’s popularity has been tied in part to Ash’s anime partner, with commentators noting that its long run alongside Ash helped fans grow especially attached to the species—an emotional boost for any vintage Bulbasaur card pull.
