History
The Venusaur-EX 1/83 card is a gem from the XY – Generations expansion, a special series released in 2016 to celebrate the Pokémon franchise's 20th anniversary. This expansion immersed collectors and players in the nostalgia of the first Kanto Pokémon, while introducing new mechanics and modern reinterpretations of iconic cards. Venusaur, the final evolution of Bulbasaur, the original Grass-type starter Pokémon from the first generation, holds a prominent place as an emblematic figure of this celebration.
The artwork for this card, signed by the talented Eske Yoshinob, captures Venusaur in all its power. The Seed Pokémon is depicted with its giant flower on its back, ready for action, its determined gaze reflecting its accumulated strength and wisdom. Eske Yoshinob is renowned for his dynamic works that bring Pokémon to life, and this card is no exception, offering a majestic and imposing perspective of Venusaur, perfectly aligned with its status as an EX Pokémon, characterized by high HP and devastating attacks.
