Provenance

Where it came from

Herdier was included in the Obsidian Flames expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, which was released in August 2023. As part of the Scarlet & Violet series, this set focused heavily on Terastal Pokémon, introducing unique mechanics that shifted the competitive landscape of the game. The card serves as a standard common-tier entry, designed to bolster the basic evolution lines available to players in the draft and expanded formats.

The artwork for this card was illustrated by Kouki Saitou, a long-time contributor to the Pokémon TCG known for his consistent and clean aesthetic. Saitou depicts Herdier in a realistic, suburban environment, capturing the creature's loyal and sturdy disposition. The design aims to emphasize the Pokémon's role as a reliable companion, utilizing a muted, natural color palette that aligns with its Normal typing and reflects the grounded artistic direction of the Scarlet & Violet era.
