Where it came from
The Forretress card, numbered 139/198, was released in the Scarlet & Violet base set of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, which debuted in early 2023. This set marked a significant transition in the game's design, introducing the updated card template that features a silver-bordered aesthetic rather than the traditional yellow borders used for decades. The set was created to reflect the Gen 9 Pokémon introduced in the Scarlet and Violet video games, aiming to modernize the visual appeal of the game while maintaining the core mechanics of competitive play.
The artwork for this specific card was illustrated by Kouki Saitou, a long-time contributor to the Pokémon TCG known for his clean, expressive style. In this depiction, Forretress is rendered with its characteristic metallic shell, set against a background that emphasizes the Pokémon’s sturdy, defensive nature. The card functions as an uncommon-rarity Metal-type Pokémon, designed primarily for deck consistency and limited play formats within the broader Scarlet & Violet expansion.
