Where it came from
Gloom first appeared in the Pokémon Trading Card Game as part of the Burning Shadows expansion, released in 2017 as part of the Sun & Moon series. This set was designed to introduce powerful new mechanics, such as GX attacks and specific type-based synergies, while expanding upon the Alola region's unique ecosystem. The set's aesthetic focus was heavily influenced by the 'Burning Shadows' theme, emphasizing dramatic lighting and high-contrast illustrations to differentiate these cards from earlier, more brightly colored expansions.
The card features artwork by illustrator Kouki Saitou, who has been a prolific contributor to the Pokémon franchise for many years. Saitou’s approach to this card emphasizes the peculiar and somewhat unsettling nature of Gloom, utilizing his signature style to highlight the creature's characteristic drooling expression and organic textures. Within the competitive landscape of the 2017 meta, this uncommon card was largely utilized for deck building in limited formats or as a transitional stage card for evolutions, favored by collectors for its consistent and classic depiction of the Oddish evolutionary line.
