Provenance

Where it came from

Gloom 002/197 is a grass-type Pokémon card released in the Obsidian Flames expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, which debuted in August 2023. As part of the Scarlet & Violet series, the set was designed to introduce the Terastal phenomenon—a gimmick that allows Pokémon to change their typing—to the tabletop game. This particular card serves as a standard common-tier evolution card, bridging the gap between Oddish and Vileplume within the deck-building mechanics of the era.

The illustration for this card was created by artist kurumitsu, who has contributed extensively to the Pokémon TCG aesthetic. The artwork emphasizes Gloom’s signature melancholic and pungent nature, rendering the creature in a naturalistic forest setting consistent with its grass-type classification. Like many common cards in the Obsidian Flames set, its design focuses on functional clarity for players while maintaining the high production quality and stylistic consistency that characterize modern Pokémon card expansions.
