Provenance

Where it came from

Metang 48/98 was released in 2015 as part of the Ancient Origins expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set was designed to bridge the gap between the Primal Clash and BREAKthrough eras, focusing on the mysterious lore of the legendary Pokémon Hoopa. As a Steel-type Pokémon, the card reflects the aesthetic shift towards the modern card templates introduced during the XY series, characterized by clean lines and holographic foil patterns on select cards.

The artwork for this specific card was rendered by industrial designer and illustrator Midori Harada, whose work has been a staple of the Pokémon franchise for many years. Harada focused on emphasizing Metang’s metallic, dual-brained physiology by placing it in a stark, focused environment that highlights its mechanical nature. Upon release, the card was received as a standard uncommon utility card, valued by players for its role in deck building and by collectors for its consistent representation of the Steel-type identity within the XY era.
