Provenance

Where it came from

Cryogonal was introduced to the Pokémon Trading Card Game as part of the Obsidian Flames expansion, released globally in August 2023. This set served as the third main expansion of the Scarlet & Violet series, focusing on the Terastal phenomenon which allows Pokémon to take on different types than their own. The Cryogonal card reflects the game's continued effort to represent Pokémon from various generations within the current mechanical framework of the Scarlet & Violet era.

The card features artwork by illustrator Kouki Saitou, who has contributed extensively to the TCG for many years. Saitou’s approach captures the floating, crystalline structure of the Ice-type Pokémon, emphasizing its geometric, snowflake-like aesthetic. As a common card, it was designed to provide accessibility for players and collectors alike, serving as a functional utility piece in deck building while maintaining the distinct visual identity established by the Pokémon's original concept artists.
