Provenance

Where it came from

Cubone (57/131) was released in 2018 as part of the Forbidden Light expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set was designed to tie into the narrative of the Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon video games, focusing on the mysterious Ultra Beasts and the transformation of Necrozma. As a common card, it was produced in high volume to provide essential gameplay utility, serving as a standard Fighting-type entry in the Sun & Moon block.

The card features artwork by the illustrator Mizue, who has contributed extensively to the Pokémon TCG since the mid-2010s. In this piece, Cubone is depicted in a natural, rocky setting that emphasizes its lonely and grounded personality. The illustration follows the established aesthetic of the Sun & Moon era, which favored clean lines and vivid colors to highlight the character’s design without straying from its traditional, melancholic lore.
