It wears its mother's skull on its head, so no one knows what its bare face looks like. However, it's clear that it's always crying.

Provenance

Where it came from

Cubone (069/163) was released in 2021 as part of the Sword & Shield: Battle Styles expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set is notable for introducing the 'Battle Style' mechanic, which categorized cards into either 'Rapid Strike' or 'Single Strike' playstyles, reflecting the diversity of combat tactics in the Pokémon franchise. The card serves as a foundational element within the set, providing a common-rarity fighting type that helps build the structural depth of the expansion.

The card features artwork by illustrator Kouki Saitou, who has contributed to the trading card game for many years. Saitou’s depiction of Cubone captures the character's signature solitary and somewhat melancholic nature, consistent with its lore as the 'Lonely Pokémon.' By utilizing the established visual language of the Sword & Shield era, the design integrates seamlessly into the broader collection, offering players and collectors a familiar and distinct representation of the character.
