Drowzee [1st Edition] Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Set Lore
This card comes from the original Base Set, and English Base Set 1st Edition cards are especially iconic because Wizards of the Coast used that early print style before later Unlimited cards added the familiar drop shadow.
Card History
Drowzee’s Base Set card is a neat early-TCG snapshot of game design, pairing Pound and Confuse Ray even though Bulbapedia notes Drowzee can learn Pound in the games but not Confuse Ray.
Artist
The artwork is by Ken Sugimori, the original Pokémon character designer, which gives this card the unmistakable hand-drawn look collectors love in early Wizards-era commons.
In-Game
Drowzee is one of the original 151 Pokémon, and its dream-eating concept comes from the baku, a tapir-like creature from Japanese folklore, giving this humble common a surprisingly deep mythological hook.
Card History
Bulbapedia records that this exact Drowzee was first released in Base Set and later reprinted in Base Set 2, making the 1st Edition copy the version collectors chase when they want the earliest English print.
