What it does
It won't attack while it's alone—not even if it spots prey. Instead, it waits for other Carvanha to join it, and then the Pokémon attack as a group.

Where it came from
Carvanha was released in 2024 as part of the Temporal Forces expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game. The set draws inspiration from the Paradox Pokémon introduced in the Scarlet and Violet video games, emphasizing themes of time and ancient versus future aesthetics. As a common card, it serves as a foundational element of the set, designed to provide players with accessible Water-type options for deck building.
The artwork was illustrated by Tika Matsuno, who has contributed numerous illustrations to the series. The design captures the aggressive nature of the species, depicting it mid-movement in a aquatic setting. In the broader context of the TCG, this card aligns with the design language of the Scarlet and Violet era, which prioritizes clean, vibrant visuals that emphasize the creature's temperament while adhering to the standard card layout introduced in this generation.
