Growlithe [Shadowless] Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
Growlithe #28 is one of the original English Base Set cards, and the Shadowless version comes from the early print run that kept the 1st Edition layout style without the edition stamp, making it a favorite among collectors chasing the earliest WotC-era look.
Artist
This card is illustrated by Ken Sugimori, the artist who created the original artwork for all 151 Generation I Pokémon, which gives Base Set Growlithe a direct visual link to Pokémon’s earliest identity.
In-Game
The card’s flavor text is lifted from Growlithe’s original Pokédex entry in Pokémon Red, tying this print directly back to Growlithe’s first-generation game debut as a fiercely territorial Fire-type.
Set Lore
Base Set Growlithe was first released in Japan’s Expansion Pack before coming to the English Base Set, and this exact card artwork was important enough to be reprinted in Base Set 2 and Legendary Collection.
Cultural Impact
Because Shadowless Base Set cards were printed with the earlier thin-text style and no artwork box shadow, this Growlithe carries the unmistakable visual fingerprint of the hobby’s most iconic launch-era printing.
