Why This Card Matters

Released in Japan in 1996, this Venusaur Trainer #000 comes from Bandai's early Pokémon Carddass Vending series and predates the international Pokémon card boom.

The front features Venusaur against the distinctive green Pocket Monsters Trainer design, while the reverse features the illustrated Pocket Monsters Town Map.

These early Bandai Carddass releases offer a very different look from the Pokémon TCG and represent an interesting branch of early Japanese Pokémon collecting.

PSA has graded 13 examples at PSA 3, with 344 graded higher.

An unusual piece of early Pokémon history featuring Venusaur, one of the original Kanto starter evolutions.
