Provenance

Where it came from

Magcargo, numbered 028/185, was released as part of the Sword & Shield: Vivid Voltage expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game in November 2020. The set was notable for introducing the Amazing Rare rarity, but this particular card belongs to the standard uncommon tier, designed to provide accessible play options for the Fire-type archetype within the contemporary meta-game.

The card features an illustration by Kouki Saitou, a long-time contributor to the franchise known for his clean, expressive style. In this depiction, Magcargo is captured in a dynamic pose that emphasizes its molten, volcanic nature, consistent with its biological lore. The artwork was crafted to fit the cohesive aesthetic of the Vivid Voltage expansion, which focused on vibrant colors and energetic character portrayals that appealed to both competitive players and casual collectors.
