History
Dragonite, the majestic Dragon/Flying-type Pokémon, is the final evolution of Dratini and Dragonair. Renowned for its kind nature and legendary ability to circle the globe in just 16 hours, Dragonite is an iconic figure from the first generation of Pokémon. The Dragonite #149 card from the Fossil expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game holds a special place, being the last numbered card in this historic set.
The Fossil expansion, released in 1999, was the third major set after Base Set and Jungle, playing a crucial role in introducing Fossil Pokémon and completing the collection of the first 150 Pokémon in the TCG. The holographic artwork for this Dragonite, crafted by renowned artist Mitsuhiro Arita, perfectly captures the Pokémon's serene power. It depicts Dragonite soaring through stormy skies over a turbulent sea, a visual that has become iconic for many collectors.
This card represents not only a beloved Pokémon but also a milestone in TCG history, marking the end of an era and the beginning of new adventures for trainers and collectors worldwide. Its rarity and holographic status make it a sought-after treasure.
