Where it came from
Carnivine, card number 009/163, was released as part of the Pokémon Trading Card Game expansion Battle Styles, which launched in early 2021. This set introduced the Rapid Strike and Single Strike mechanic to the TCG, drawing thematic inspiration from the battle styles featured in the Pokémon Sword and Shield video games. As an uncommon Grass-type Pokémon card, it serves as a functional component for players building decks focused on synergy and tactical combat strategies within the Sword and Shield series era.
The illustration for this card was created by artist Naoyo Kimura, a long-time contributor to the Pokémon TCG known for a clean, colorful, and distinctively digital aesthetic. Kimura’s design for this Carnivine emphasizes the creature's predatory nature, capturing it in a dynamic pose that highlights its flytrap-like foliage. The card is generally regarded by collectors as a standard entry in the series, appreciated primarily for its consistent artistic quality and its role in maintaining the set’s comprehensive representation of the Galar region's flora and fauna.
