Provenance

Where it came from

Lairon (79/124) was released in 2012 as part of the Dragons Exalted expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game, which served as the English adaptation of the Japanese Dragon Selection and Dragon Blast/Dragon Blade sets. This set was notable for introducing the Dragon-type as a distinct card category, shifting the mechanical landscape of the game to accommodate more complex type interactions and evolution chains.

The card features artwork by Kagemaru Himeno, a veteran illustrator who has contributed to the franchise since its inception. Himeno's design emphasizes Lairon's dual Steel and Rock typing, depicting the creature in a grounded, metallic aesthetic consistent with the visual evolution of the series during the Black & White era. As an uncommon card, it provided a functional mid-stage evolution for players aiming to build cohesive metal-type decks during the 2012 competitive season.
