Provenance

Where it came from

The Darmanitan card, numbered 21/98, was released in the Emerging Powers expansion of 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 Pokémon exclusively from the Unova region, marking a deliberate shift toward the newer generation of creatures introduced in the fifth generation of video games.

The artwork for this card was provided by illustrator Mitsuhiro Arita, a veteran of the franchise whose work has defined the visual identity of the trading card game since its inception. Arita designed this card to showcase the intimidating, high-energy nature of the Darminatan species, utilizing bold lines and a dynamic stance to emphasize its Fire-type classification and its reputation as a formidable physical attacker in competitive play.
