Provenance

Where it came from

The Heracross card from the Diamond & Pearl set was released in 2007, marking the beginning of the fourth generation of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set introduced the Sinnoh region to the TCG, shifting the card design to incorporate the aesthetic and mechanics associated with the Nintendo DS titles released during that period.

The card features artwork by illustrator Kouki Saitou, whose work is characterized by vibrant colors and dynamic positioning of the Pokémon subjects. As a rare-tier grass-type card, it reflects the design language of the early Diamond & Pearl era, focusing on standardized layout features that became the hallmark of this transitionary generation of competitive play.
