Provenance

Where it came from

Croconaw (040/162) was released in 2024 as part of the Temporal Forces expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set is notable for introducing the Ancient and Future categories to the modern game, drawing heavily from the themes established in the Pokémon Scarlet and Violet video games. The card is designed as a standard Water-type evolution, serving as a functional link between Totodile and Feraligatr within the competitive format.

The artwork for this particular card was illustrated by Takaaki Kurokawa, a regular contributor to the franchise known for a clean, digital aesthetic. In this piece, Kurokawa depicts the creature in a dynamic, naturalistic environment, emphasizing its reptilian characteristics and physical strength. As a common rarity card, it was distributed widely in booster packs and theme-related products, intended primarily to provide consistent gameplay options for players building water-based decks.
