Provenance

Where it came from

Released in early 2014 as part of the XY base set, this card represents the introduction of the sixth generation of Pokémon to the trading card game. Coming on the heels of the transition from the Black & White series, the XY set focused on the new Kalos region and integrated the newly introduced Fairy-type, alongside established types like Grass.

The card features artwork by Midori Harada, a long-time illustrator for the franchise known for a soft, whimsical style that frequently highlights the natural environments of the Pokémon. In this illustration, Illumise is depicted in a pose consistent with its role as a firefly-inspired creature, utilizing the bright color palette characteristic of the XY era's card design to emphasize its visual identity.
