Where it came from
The Metapod card (011/165) was released in 2023 as part of the Pokémon Scarlet & Violet—151 expansion. This set was specifically curated to feature the original 151 Pokémon from the Kanto region, tapping into deep nostalgia for the franchise's inception while utilizing modern card design techniques and high-quality card stock.
The illustration is credited to artist Yuka Morii, who is renowned for her distinctive style of using physical clay sculptures to create the subjects of her cards. In this piece, she utilizes her signature technique to render Metapod in a three-dimensional, textured fashion, capturing the creature's simple, pupa-like form with a tangible, tactile quality that stands out among the digital illustrations found elsewhere in the set.
