Where it came from
Nincada, numbered 9/108, was released as part of the Roaring Skies expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game, which debuted in the spring of 2015. This set drew heavy inspiration from the sixth generation of Pokémon video games, specifically focusing on the Delta Species concept and the presence of powerful Dragon-type Pokémon. As a common Grass-type card, this Nincada was intended to provide basic playability for players building decks around the forest and insect-themed mechanics prevalent in the set.
The artwork for this card was illustrated by match, a long-term contributor to the Pokémon TCG aesthetic. The design captures Nincada in a terrestrial pose consistent with its digital counterpart, emphasizing its burrowing nature. Upon release, the card was widely received by collectors as a standard entry in the expansion, serving as a functional building block for the evolution lines that featured Nincada’s more complex forms, Ninjask and Shedinja.
