This Pokémon has a jaw that's as sharp as a spear and as strong as steel. Apparently Barraskewda's flesh is surprisingly tasty, too.

Provenance

Where it came from

Barraskewda was introduced as a featured Pokémon in the Sword and Shield generation, debuting in the Galar region. This specific card, numbered 042/185, was released as part of the Vivid Voltage expansion in November 2020. The expansion was designed to introduce the Amazing Pokémon mechanic and provide a wider variety of cards to players following the initial wave of the Sword and Shield series.

The artwork for this card was created by Kouki Saitou, a long-time illustrator for the Pokémon Trading Card Game known for a dynamic, clean aesthetic. Saitou’s depiction focuses on the swift, barracuda-like nature of the creature, emphasizing its torpedo-shaped body and speed-oriented design. Like many rare cards in the Vivid Voltage set, it served as an accessible addition for players and collectors looking to round out their Water-type decks.
