Where it came from
Excadrill card number 97/160 was released in the Primal Clash expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, which debuted in early 2015. This set drew heavy inspiration from the Generation VI games, Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, focusing on the introduction of Primal Reversion for legendary Pokémon. The card features a holofoil finish characteristic of the Rare Holo tier, designed to catch the light and highlight the subterranean, steel-and-ground nature of the Excavating Pokémon.
The artwork for this particular card was rendered by illustrator Mitsuhiro Arita, a veteran artist known for his significant contributions to the TCG since its inception. Arita utilized a dynamic, action-oriented style to depict Excadrill in a pose that emphasizes its signature drill-like claws and tunneling capabilities. Upon its release, the card was received as a solid mid-tier entry in the set, appreciated by players for its type synergy and by collectors for Arita’s distinct, illustrative character design.
