Venusaur Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
This Base Set 2 Venusaur is a direct reprint of the iconic Base Set Venusaur, keeping the celebrated Energy Trans Pokémon Power that made Venusaur-centered energy manipulation one of early Pokémon TCG’s signature strategies.
Set Lore
Base Set 2 is a nostalgic reprint-era set released in February 2000 that pulled together cards from earlier expansions, giving collectors another shot at flagship holos like Venusaur in the distinctive '2' set-stamp frame.
In-Game
Venusaur’s attack on this card, Solarbeam, is drawn straight from the video games, where Solar Beam is one of Venusaur’s most recognizable Grass-type moves.
Artist
The artwork is by Mitsuhiro Arita, one of the foundational illustrators of the original Pokémon TCG whose work helped define the visual identity of early Kanto-era chase cards.
Cultural Impact
As the final evolution of Bulbasaur, Venusaur stands as one of the original fully evolved Kanto starters, which gives its vintage holo cards a special place among collectors building classic starter trios.
