Clefairy [1st Edition] Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
Clefairy is one of the original 16 holographic rares in the English Base Set, making this 1st Edition copy part of the very first wave of Pokémon cards many collectors consider the foundation of the hobby.
Set Lore
The English Base Set launched on January 9, 1999, and 1st Edition cards like this Clefairy came from that historic debut print run before the later Shadowless and Unlimited versions.
Artist
This card is illustrated by Ken Sugimori, Pokémon’s original character designer, and the artwork matches the classic early Sugimori-era Clefairy art style that defined the franchise’s first generation look.
In-Game
Clefairy’s Base Set flavor and identity tie directly to Mt. Moon, one of the few places wild Clefairy could be found in the original games and the location most associated with its Moon Stone mythology.
Card History
Metronome gives this card extra nostalgia because Clefairy was spotlighted with Moon Stone lore in the early anime episode "Clefairy and the Moon Stone," helping cement its reputation as one of Kanto’s most mystical mascots.
