Provenance

Where it came from

The Absol card numbered 097/189 was released as part of the Pokémon Trading Card Game expansion titled Astral Radiance, which debuted in mid-2022. This set draws heavy thematic inspiration from the Nintendo Switch title Pokémon Legends: Arceus, focusing on the Hisui region and the mysterious distortions appearing in the world. Absol, known as the Disaster Pokémon, is featured here with its signature dark-type aesthetic, rendered in a holographic style that emphasizes its sleek, foreboding design.

The artwork for this specific card was created by artist NC Empire, whose work frequently appears across various modern Pokémon sets. The illustration captures Absol in a dynamic, poised stance, utilizing sharp lines and high-contrast shading to lean into the creature's lore as a harbinger of natural phenomena. Upon its release, the card was well-received by players for its thematic consistency with the set's broader exploration of ancient Sinnoh and by collectors for its clean, classic holo-rare presentation.
