Where it came from
Carnivine, card number 6/73, was released in the Shining Legends expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, which debuted in late 2017. This set was notable for its special distribution as a premium collection, focusing on legendary and mythical Pokémon, and it featured a distinctive holofoil pattern on its secret rare cards. The set served as a celebration of the series' history, bringing together powerful creatures from various generations into a cohesive, high-quality collection.
The card features artwork by illustrator Kouki Saitou, whose work is highly regarded for its clean lines and character-focused compositions. Saitou captured the Pokémon in a dynamic, predatory pose, consistent with its lore-based behavior of luring prey. As an uncommon card, it serves as a functional piece within the grass-type archetypes of the era, balancing the set's more powerful chase cards with accessible, illustrative design work that reflects the aesthetic standards of the Sun & Moon series.
