5 facts about this card
This exact Tropius from Rising Rivals became more memorable to collectors because card #52 was also issued as the set’s stamped Prerelease promo, giving an otherwise uncommon card a true event-exclusive identity.
Rising Rivals is part of the Platinum era, and Bulbapedia notes Tropius appears in the set as both the regular release and the "Prerelease" stamp version, which ties the card directly to late-2000s Pokémon Organized Play history.
Tropius had a showcase moment in the anime when Dominick used one at the Ever Grande Conference, where its clash with Ash’s Torkoal ended in a dramatic double knockout.
In the core games, Tropius is famous as the Fruit Pokémon that can fly by flapping its leaf-like wings, and its Pokédex lore about sweet fruit growing around its neck gives this card a distinctly tropical personality collectors instantly recognize.
Because this card is illustrated by Ken Sugimori, it carries the classic house style of Pokémon’s original character designer, which gives the Prerelease promo an especially authentic, era-defining feel.
