History
Clefable, the Fairy Pokémon, is a creature of great rarity and ethereal beauty, often sighted in isolated and peaceful places under the light of the full moon. Evolving from Clefairy, it is renowned for its shy nature and its ability to move with surprising lightness, almost as if flying with its small dorsal wings. Its presence is often associated with luck and serenity.
The holographic Clefable card number 036 from the Jungle expansion is a significant milestone in the history of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Launched after the highly popular Base Set, the Jungle expansion enriched the world of the TCG by introducing 48 new Pokémon, thereby expanding game strategies and collecting possibilities. It is particularly famous for its highly sought-after holographic cards and for being the first expansion to feature a distinctive symbol to mark its set.
The artwork for this card, by the legendary Mitsuhiro Arita, captures Clefable in a graceful and dynamic pose, appearing to dance or float in a cosmic, starry environment. The classic holographic effect of the era beautifully highlights this dreamlike scene, lending the card a magical aura and making it a visually iconic piece from the Wizards of the Coast era.
