Provenance

Where it came from

Crustle (8/108) was released in 2012 as part of the Dark Explorers expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set was notable for introducing the Pokémon-EX mechanic and focusing on the Unova region, marking a period where the card game leaned into more aggressive, high-damage playstyles to reflect the competitive shifts of the Black and White era.

The card features artwork by illustrator Mizue, who has contributed numerous designs to the series. The illustration depicts the stone-dwelling Pokémon in its typical defensive posture, capturing the textured, organic aesthetic that became a hallmark of the Black and White series card designs. As an uncommon grass-type card, it functioned as a standard utility piece within the set, appreciated by players for its thematic integration into the game's evolving mechanics.
