Where it came from
The Cacnea card, numbered 005/198, was released in the Scarlet & Violet base set in 2023. As part of the initial expansion for the Scarlet & Violet series, it introduced the standardized silver borders that replaced the long-standing yellow borders of the English Pokémon Trading Card Game, a design shift intended to unify the look of cards worldwide with their Japanese counterparts.
The card features an illustration by Kouki Saitou, a long-time contributor to the Pokémon TCG known for his dynamic and character-focused style. In this depiction, Cacnea is presented in a desert environment, capturing its prickly, sedentary nature. As a common card, it served as an accessible entry point for players and collectors engaging with the transition into the ninth generation of the game.
