Greavard

The Greavard card, numbered 065/132, debuted as part of the expansion featuring the Mega Evolution thematic cycle within the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Introduced as a psychic-type creature, Greavard was designed to capture the endearing yet slightly ghostly aesthetic of the Ghost-type canine species first appearing in the Paldea region games. The card serves as a standard common-rarity entry, designed to be accessible to players and collectors while introducing the card game community to the mechanics and visual style of this specific generation of creatures.

The artistic direction for this series emphasizes a balance between the franchise's traditional vibrant illustration style and the more modern, streamlined designs characteristic of recent Pokémon generations. The illustration for Greavard focuses on its signature candle-like flame and spirited demeanor, aiming to convey the creature's lore as a friendly companion that accidentally drains the life force of those nearby. As a common card, it received a standard, wide release across international markets, prioritizing consistency in gameplay utility and broad appeal among younger players and regional collectors.
