Where it came from
The Inkay card, numbered 50/131, was released as part of the Pokémon Trading Card Game set titled Forbidden Light, which debuted in the spring of 2018. This set focused on the narrative of the legendary Pokémon Necrozma and its various forms, drawing inspiration from the Nintendo 3DS titles Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. As a common psychic-type card, Inkay was designed to provide foundational support for deck-building during this expansion, reflecting the character's dual dark and psychic typing from the video game series.
The artwork for this specific card was commissioned by illustrator Kouki Saitou, who has been a long-standing contributor to the Pokémon TCG. Saitou’s approach frequently emphasizes clean lines and expressive character poses, capturing Inkay's unique cephalopod-inspired design while adhering to the standard formatting established for common cards in the Sun & Moon era. Like many common cards from the period, it served to fill out the competitive landscape, prioritizing accessibility and mechanical utility over the intricate holographic treatments seen on rarer collectibles.
