Where it came from
The Gloom card from the Ancient Origins expansion was released by The Pokémon Company International in August 2015. As part of the XY series, this set focused on the introduction of Ancient Traits, which were special abilities that provided gameplay advantages to certain Pokémon. This iteration of Gloom represents the classic Grass-type evolution line, following its initial appearance in the base set of the trading card game.
The artwork for this specific card was illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita, a veteran artist known for his significant contributions to the Pokémon TCG since its inception in 1996. Arita utilized his characteristic style to capture the character's signature melancholic and somewhat unsettling personality within the forest environment. Upon release, the card was widely distributed as an uncommon pull, serving as a functional staple for players building decks around the Grass-type mechanic during the XY-era competitive format.
