Provenance

Where it came from

Cottonee, number 005/202, was released in 2020 as part of the Sword & Shield base expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set marked the beginning of the eighth generation of Pokémon, transitioning players into the Galar region. The card was designed as a common grass-type base stage, intended to serve as a foundational element for players building decks with new mechanics like Pokémon V and VMAX.

The artwork for this specific card was rendered by illustrator Kouki Saitou, who is known for a clean, approachable style that frequently appears across various sets. In this depiction, the artist focuses on the whimsical, cotton-like nature of the creature, placing it against a soft, pastel-toned background that highlights its airy anatomy. As a common card, it was widely distributed in booster packs and theme decks, becoming a recognizable part of the early Galar-era card pool for both casual collectors and competitive players.
