Provenance

Where it came from

The Floatzel card (049/197) was released in 2023 as part of the Obsidian Flames expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set is notable for introducing Tera Pokémon ex with type-shifted elemental properties, representing a shift in the game's mechanics that emphasizes strategic flexibility during the Scarlet & Violet era.

The illustration for this card was created by artist Kouki Saitou, who has contributed extensively to the Pokémon TCG since the early 2000s. Known for his clean lines and dynamic compositions, Saitou captures Floatzel in a characteristic aquatic pose, staying true to the creature's established design as a high-speed, agile water-type Pokémon often associated with rescue and oceanic exploration.
