This Voltorb card comes from the 1998 Japanese Vending Series II – a glossy promo set printed for Pokémon card vending machines in Japan. The art by Tomokazu Komiya shows bright red Voltorb leaping past industrial scaffolding, set against a metallic factory backdrop (a small yellow Pokémon figure even peeks from the side). As an Electric-type Pokémon (HP 30), its simple “Denki Shock” and “Spark” moves reflect the early Pokémon TCG style. Vintage collectors appreciate this card for its original Japanese holo finish and first-generation charm – it’s a colorful, nostalgic collectible from the classic 1998 Pokémon TCG era.
