Bulbasaur [Shadowless] Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
This Base Set Bulbasaur was illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita and first appeared in the original Japanese Expansion Pack before being reprinted in Base Set 2 and Legendary Collection, giving this tiny Common a direct link to the earliest days of the Pokémon TCG.
Set Lore
The Shadowless version belongs to the famously scarce early English Base Set print run, a variant collectors chase because it was produced before the later unlimited cards added the dark drop shadow around the artwork box.
In-Game
Bulbasaur is Pokédex #0001, so this card represents the very first Pokémon in the National Pokédex and one of the original Kanto starter choices from the first games.
Card History
Bulbasaur became especially memorable in the anime as one of Ash Ketchum’s main early-team Pokémon, which helps this Base Set card feel like a snapshot of the franchise’s first wave of worldwide popularity.
Cultural Impact
Bulbapedia notes that this exact Base Set artwork later inspired a jumbo 25th Anniversary Kanto First Partner Pack version, showing how iconic the original Bulbasaur pose became for longtime collectors.
