Nidoran [1st Edition] Card Facts & History
4 facts about this card
Card History
Nidoran♂ #55 is one of the original Base Set commons, first released in Japan’s Expansion Pack before being reprinted in Base Set 2 and Legendary Collection, giving this little Basic a direct link to the very start of Pokémon TCG history.
Artist
This card is illustrated by Ken Sugimori, the original Pokémon character designer, so pulling it feels like owning a piece of the franchise’s foundational visual style rather than just another early common.
In-Game
Its flavor text is adapted from the Pokédex entry in Pokémon Red and Blue, tying the card directly to Nidoran♂’s Gen I identity as the Poison Pin Pokémon with venomous horns and danger-sensing ears.
Set Lore
Because English Base Set was printed in both 1st Edition and unlimited variants, a 1st Edition Nidoran♂ belongs to the iconic first-wave print run that collectors associate with the shadowless era of WotC Pokémon cards.
