Where it came from
Nanu 179/181 is a Full Art Supporter card released in the Pokémon Trading Card Game expansion Team Up, which arrived in early 2019. The set served as a centerpiece for the introduction of TAG TEAM Pokémon cards, emphasizing collaborative gameplay. This specific card depicts Nanu, the Kahuna of Ula'ula Island from the Pokémon Sun and Moon video games, characterized by his somber, weary demeanor and affinity for Dark-type Pokémon.
The artwork was illustrated by Hitoshi Ariga, a long-time collaborator with the Pokémon franchise known for his distinct, clean lines and expressive character work. Ariga focused on capturing Nanu's signature cynical personality, opting for a muted color palette that aligns with the character's role as a mysterious mentor figure. Within the competitive community, the card is remembered for its niche utility in deck building, allowing players to swap Active Pokémon for Dark-type creatures from the discard pile, reflecting the strategic complexity typical of the Sun and Moon era.
