Pidgey [1st Edition] Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
Pidgey #57 is one of the original 102 cards from the English Base Set, the expansion that launched the Pokémon TCG in the West on January 9, 1999.
Set Lore
Because this is a 1st Edition Base Set card, it comes from the very first English print run, marked by the iconic Edition 1 stamp that collectors chase as the earliest pack-issued version.
In-Game
Its flavor text is lifted from the Pokédex entry used in Pokémon Red and Blue, tying the card directly to how many fans first encountered Pidgey in the original Kanto games.
Card History
Pidgey’s lone attack, Whirlwind, is based on the video game move Pidgey can learn, giving this humble common a mechanic that captures its evasive, disruptive battle style from the games.
Artist
The artwork is by Ken Sugimori, Pokémon’s original character designer, which gives this card an especially nostalgic link to the franchise’s earliest visual identity.
