Where it came from
The Kingler card, numbered 20/106, was released in the Great Encounters expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game in 2008. This set was part of the Diamond & Pearl Series, which introduced mechanics like Pokémon LV.X and focused on highlighting Pokémon introduced in the Sinnoh region alongside fan favorites from earlier generations. It arrived during a period when the game was refining its mechanics to cater to both casual players and a growing competitive circuit.
The artwork for this card was created by Kouki Saitou, a prominent artist who has contributed a vast array of illustrations to the franchise. Saitou’s design for Kingler emphasizes the creature’s signature oversized claw, capturing it in a dynamic, aggressive pose consistent with the Water-type’s reputation for power. The card was well-received by collectors who appreciated Saitou’s ability to maintain a balance between the card's functional game stats and the expressive, clean line work characteristic of the era.
