Provenance

Where it came from

The Iron Hands ex card, numbered 223/182, was introduced as part of the Paradox Rift expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game, released in late 2023. This set focused on the concept of Paradox Pokémon, drawing from the futuristic designs featured in the Pokémon Violet video game. The card represents a 'Future' Pokémon, an mechanized iteration of Hariyama, designed to emphasize a sleek, industrial aesthetic that contrasts with the more organic illustrations found in other series.

The artwork for this specific ultra-rare card was crafted by illustrator takuyoa. The design utilizes a distinctive full-art treatment that highlights the character's imposing, robotic features through sharp lines and a high-energy electric color palette. Upon its release, the card gained significant attention within the competitive trading card game community due to its powerful 'Amp You Very Much' attack, which quickly made it a staple in various tournament-level deck builds.
