Where it came from
Carvanha was introduced to the Pokémon Trading Card Game as part of the Ruby & Sapphire expansion, released in 2003. This set marked the beginning of the EX series, which transitioned the game from the Wizards of the Coast era to the Nintendo and The Pokémon Company International era. As a common card, it served to introduce players to the Generation III creatures that debuted in the accompanying video games for the Game Boy Advance.
The card features an illustration by Midori Harada, a prolific artist in the franchise known for her vibrant, character-focused style. Harada captured the aggressive, shark-like nature of Carvanha within the distinct aesthetic of the Ruby & Sapphire era, characterized by colorful, clean, and often digital-leaning artwork. The card was designed to highlight the creature's Water typing, reflecting the expanded Pokedex that defined the Hoenn region's aquatic themes.
