Quagsire was appointed as Kochi Prefecture’s Ambassador Pokémon last year due to the region's picturesque rivers, through which, “one can easily picture Quagsire leisurely swimming.” The new lids show Quagsire and other Pokémon in scenic locations around the prefecture. For example, the lid to be installed in Muroto City pictures Quagsire and Nacli among the cliffs at Cape Muroto Lighthouse, and the lid to be installed in Toyo Town shows Quagsire and Mantine at Ikumi Surf Beach.
Quagsire attended the unveiling ceremony for the new lids today in Kochi. When these lids are installed, there will be a total of 13 in Kochi Prefecture and over 400 throughout Japan. These five Poké Lids are designed by Kyoko Umemoto, who has illustrated many TCG cards and Poké Lids for The Pokémon Company previously.
