Poliwrath [1st Edition] Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
Poliwrath #13 is one of the original Base Set holofoils, placing it in the very first main English Pokémon TCG expansion released by Wizards of the Coast on January 9, 1999.
Set Lore
The 1st Edition stamp ties this card to the earliest English print run of Base Set, a detail collectors prize because it marks Pokémon’s first wave of TCG history outside Japan.
Artist
This card was illustrated by Ken Sugimori, the original Pokémon character designer whose artwork helped define how fans first saw many Generation I Pokémon in both the games and the TCG.
In-Game
Poliwrath is Pokédex #62 from the original Generation I lineup, so this holo represents one of the franchise’s first 151 species from the Game Boy era that launched Pokémon’s worldwide rise.
Cultural Impact
Poliwrath’s card flavor text mirrors its long-running Pokédex identity as an elite swimmer that can outpace top human swimmers, giving this early holo a strong connection to classic in-game lore.
