Provenance

Where it came from

Released in November 2014 as part of the Phantom Forces expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game, this card captures the Dual-type Bug and Electric Pokémon, Galvantula. The set was thematic, heavily influenced by the ghost and steel-type mechanics introduced in the Pokémon X and Y video games, emphasizing the eerie, technological atmosphere of the Kalos region's Power Plant.

The artwork was illustrated by Hitoshi Ariga, a celebrated artist in the Pokémon community known for his crisp, dynamic character designs and clear compositions. Ariga’s portrayal of Galvantula emphasizes its spider-like agility and electric discharge, capturing the creature mid-motion to highlight its presence as a rare-tier card within the expansion's wider roster of competitive utility Pokémon.
