Provenance

Where it came from

Cubchoo (28/98) was released as part of the Emerging Powers expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game, which debuted in North America in August 2011. This set was notable for being the first expansion in the Black & White series to feature cards exclusively from the Unova region, bringing the generation V Pokémon introduced in the Pokémon Black and White video games to the tabletop format.

The card features an illustration by Midori Harada, a long-time contributor to the Pokémon TCG known for her soft, painterly approach to character design. Harada captured Cubchoo's signature icy snivel and gentle demeanor, aligning with the creature's lore as an Ice-type Pokémon that relies on its frozen nose to regulate its health. As a common card, it served as a functional piece for collectors and players looking to complete the set or build thematic Water-type decks during the early Black & White competitive era.
