Where it came from
The Elgyem card, numbered 73/162, was released in the XY—BREAKthrough expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, which debuted in late 2015. This set served as a bridge between the core XY series and the introduction of the BREAK evolution mechanic, featuring a wide variety of Pokémon from both the Kalos and Hoenn regions to revitalize the competitive meta and appeal to both veteran players and new fans.
The artwork for this specific card was illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita, a veteran artist whose contributions have been instrumental to the aesthetic identity of the franchise since its inception. Arita’s portrayal of Elgyem captures its enigmatic, extraterrestrial nature, utilizing soft, ethereal lighting to emphasize the psychic typing of the creature. Within the hobby, this card is regarded as a quintessential common, valued primarily for its functional role in gameplay and its representative quality within the expansive BREAKthrough set.
