Provenance

Where it came from

Released in the Great Encounters expansion in 2008, this Arbok card reflects the mid-era aesthetic of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. The expansion was designed to highlight legendary Pokémon and notable trainers, often bridging the gap between earlier mechanics and the rapid evolution of the card game's power creep during the Diamond and Pearl series.

The artwork for this card was provided by Ken Sugimori, whose iconic illustrative style defined the core visual language of the franchise. By utilizing a clean, static pose against a minimalist background, Sugimori aimed to emphasize the creature's biological design rather than an action-oriented scene, a hallmark of his approach to rendering classic Pokémon during this period.
