History
The Aipom 41/64 card from the Neo Revelation expansion immerses us in the world of the second generation of Pokémon, introduced by the Gold and Silver games. Aipom, the Long Tail Pokémon, is known for its agility and its prehensile tail, which it uses as an extra limb, often to hang from trees or manipulate objects. This faithful illustration captures the essence of this Normal-type Pokémon.
Released in 2001, the Neo Revelation expansion is the third set in the Neo era and continued to enrich the Pokémon TCG with new Johto Pokémon and innovative game mechanics. Although Aipom 41/64 is a non-holographic common card, it is a testament to this iconic period when the TCG was rapidly evolving, introducing cards like the highly sought-after "Shining" Pokémon.
The artwork for this card is by Sumiyoshi Kizuki, a prolific artist who has contributed many illustrations to the Pokémon TCG. Their style is often characterized by clear lines and a dynamic representation of Pokémon in their natural environment, giving Aipom a lively and authentic presence that will delight collectors who appreciate the classic aesthetic of early 2000s Pokémon cards.
