Where it came from
Dottler is a Grass-type Pokémon introduced in the eighth generation of the franchise, debuting in the 2020 Sword & Shield expansion set. The card, numbered 018/202, reflects the design sensibilities of the Galar region, which draws heavy inspiration from the United Kingdom. Its inclusion in the base set was intended to round out the early-game Pokédex entries available to players, serving as the middle evolution in the Blipbug line.
The card’s illustration was rendered by artist Tomokazu Komiya, whose distinct, textured, and slightly surreal art style is a staple of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Komiya often employs a vibrant, multi-layered aesthetic that emphasizes the creature's environment rather than a sterile portrait, capturing Dottler’s spherical, armored shell within a naturalistic setting. This card is recognized by collectors as a characteristic example of Komiya's recurring contributions to the series.
