Where it came from
The Exploud card, numbered 17/106, was released in the Great Encounters expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game in 2008. This set was part of the Diamond & Pearl Series, which introduced mechanics based on the Sinnoh region games. The set was designed to emphasize powerful Pokémon evolutions and high-impact abilities, aiming to provide strategic depth for players while maintaining the aesthetic standards of the late-2000s TCG era.
The illustration for this card was provided by Kagemaru Himeno, a long-standing artist in the Pokémon franchise known for her clean, character-focused style. Himeno sought to capture the imposing, sonic-based nature of Exploud, depicting the creature in an active, bellowing stance that highlights its role as a heavy hitter within the colorless type category. The card was well-received by collectors for its vibrant artwork and its utility within the limited format of the era.
