Provenance

Where it came from

Larvesta was included as card number 12/73 in the Shining Legends expansion, released by The Pokémon Company International in October 2017. This set was a special supplementary release characterized by its focus on rare and powerful Shiny Pokémon, serving as a nostalgic celebration of legendary creatures within the trading card game ecosystem.

The artwork for this Larvesta card was produced by illustrator Mizue, who has contributed extensively to the franchise. The design captures the Bug- and Fire-type Pokémon in a standard pose consistent with its role as a common-rarity foundational card, intended to provide depth to the set's collection while representing the fiery, moth-like aesthetic defined in the Generation V video games.
