History
Doduo is a Normal/Flying-type Pokémon introduced in the first generation. It is recognizable by its two heads, each possessing its own brain, allowing it to remain constantly vigilant. It is known for its incredible speed on the ground, despite lacking wings, using its two pairs of legs to run at high velocities.
The Doduo 48/102 card is part of the legendary Base Set, the very first Pokémon Trading Card Game expansion released in the West. This set laid the foundations of the TCG and is iconic for many collectors and players, marking the beginning of an era. Base Set cards, especially those from the 1st Edition, are highly sought after for their historical and sentimental value.
The artwork for this Doduo card is by Mitsuhiro Arita, one of the most prolific and recognizable artists in the Pokémon TCG. His distinctive style brought many iconic Base Set cards to life, including many beloved Pokémon. On this particular card, Arita captures Doduo in a natural environment, emphasizing its dynamic posture and its two attentive heads, characteristic of its original design.
