Where it came from
The Nincada card, numbered 10/124, was released in the Dragons Exalted expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, which debuted in 2012. As a common card within the Black & White series, it reflects the era's aesthetic shift toward high-energy, illustrative card design. It was created to provide players with a basic Pokémon representative of the Bug and Ground types, fitting into the thematic focus of the set, which prominently featured Dragon-type Pokémon for the first time in the series' history.
The illustration for this card was provided by artist Mitsuhiro Arita, a veteran of the Pokémon TCG whose work has defined the visual language of the game since its inception. Arita's design choice for this Nincada emphasizes a naturalistic, slightly textured aesthetic that highlights the creature's burrowing nature. Upon release, the card was widely received by players as a functional, accessible entry point for deck building, serving as a reliable utility card for evolving into Ninjask or Shedinja during competitive play.
