Collecting Mudkip

Mudkip first appeared in 2003's Dragon set and as a Nintendo Black Star Promo. The pool's headline card is the 2004 Team Rocket Returns Mudkip Star, a Rare Holo Star from the early EX era. Aya Kusube illustrated four of the twenty printings, more than any other artist. With thirteen of those cards sitting at common or uncommon, most of the run is easy to build around Marshtomp and Swampert on the same spread.
