History
Jolteon, one of the original Eeveelutions, is an Electric-type Pokémon renowned for its lightning speed and powerful electric attacks. This card, number 4/64, originates from the Jungle expansion, the second set released for the Pokémon Trading Card Game, following the Base Set. The Jungle expansion introduced 48 new Pokémon to the TCG, including several iconic evolutions and legendary Pokémon, significantly expanding the game's universe.
The holographic artwork for this Jolteon card is crafted by Shin-ichi Yoshida, an artist celebrated for his dynamic and detailed illustrations. His style often highlights the Pokémon's character and abilities. Here, he likely captures Jolteon's energy and agility, with details emphasizing its spiky fur and electric aura, making the card visually appealing for both collectors and players.
The "Edition 2" designation for this Jungle expansion Jolteon card refers to a specific print run following the First Edition. While "Edition 2" is not a standard official label like "1st Edition" or "Unlimited" for English and Japanese cards, it can denote a particular version of the unlimited print or a specific characteristic of French editions. This distinction is important for collectors who appreciate the nuances between different print waves of the same expansion.
