Provenance

Where it came from

Inkay card 077/196 was released in the Lost Origin expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game in 2022. The set focused on the distortion and mystery surrounding the Hisui region, specifically highlighting the Lost Zone mechanic which allows players to strategically send cards into a discard pile that is removed from the game for the remainder of the match.

The artwork for this specific card was rendered by illustrator Mizue, who has contributed numerous cards to the Pokémon franchise. The design captures the cephalopod-like Pokémon in a serene, underwater setting, emphasizing its psychic typing. As a common card, it was produced in high volume to provide essential utility and deck-building options for players participating in the competitive and casual organized play circuits during the Sword & Shield series.
