Tangela [1st Edition] Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
Tangela #66 is part of the original English Base Set, and a true 1st Edition copy comes from the earliest Base Set print run that collectors identify as the iconic shadowless release.
Artist
This card was illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita, one of the defining early Pokémon TCG artists whose work helped shape the visual identity of the hobby’s most nostalgic era.
In-Game
Tangela itself is one of the original 151 Pokémon from Generation I, so this Base Set card represents the species from the exact era when Pokémon first exploded from the Game Boy games into the TCG.
Card History
On the card, Tangela’s Bind and Poisonpowder attacks give it a classic early-TCG control feel, combining Paralysis and Poison in a way that made even a Common feel annoyingly sticky in kitchen-table battles.
Cultural Impact
Tangela’s strange design has always added mystery to its appeal, with official Pokédex lore emphasizing that its body is hidden under constantly moving vines, making this early artwork feel like a snapshot of one of Kanto’s weirdest originals.
