Provenance

Where it came from

Released in November 2017, the Crimson Invasion expansion served as the fourth main set of the Sun & Moon Series in the Pokémon Trading Card Game. The set focused on the Ultra Beasts and the lore of the Ultra Wormholes, marking a period of expansion in the game's mechanics and card pool. Cubone 52/111 was introduced as a standard common card to represent the character's presence within the Alola region context.

This specific iteration of Cubone features artwork by illustrator Kouki Saitou, who has contributed extensively to the Pokémon TCG since the early 2000s. Saitou frequently employs a clean, expressive style that emphasizes the character's traditional association with loneliness and melancholy. The card was designed for the standard gameplay environment of the time, providing a basic Fighting-type utility common to the series' recurring developmental aesthetic.
