Provenance

Where it came from

The Mantine card, numbered 052/202, was released as part of the Pokémon Sword & Shield base set in early 2020. This set marked the beginning of the eighth generation of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, introducing mechanics and designs inspired by the Galar region. As an uncommon card, it served to populate the set with regional aquatic life, reflecting the shift toward the aesthetic standards established by the Sword & Shield video game titles.

The card features artwork by illustrator Kouki Saitou, who has contributed extensively to the franchise. Saitou’s illustration captures Mantine in a serene, underwater composition, emphasizing the creature's elegant gliding movement through the ocean. In the broader context of the TCG, this card is viewed as a standard example of the transition into the modern era of game design, where card artwork began to emphasize vibrant environments and fluid character poses to match the graphical evolution of the source material.
