Provenance

Where it came from

The Numel card, numbered 21/149, was released in the Boundaries Crossed expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, which debuted in English markets in November 2012. This set was notable for integrating cards from the Japanese BW7 'Cold Flare' and 'Freeze Bolt' expansions, marking a period where the card game was heavily influenced by the aesthetic and mechanics of the fifth generation of Pokémon games, specifically Black and White.

The illustration for this card was crafted by artist match, a frequent contributor to the TCG who is known for a clean, digital style that often emphasizes the creature's habitat. In this instance, the artwork depicts Numel in a rugged, desert-like environment, capturing its docile nature. As a common rarity card, it served as a foundational element for deck-building during the expansion's lifecycle, intended to provide players with a reliable Fire-type option for early-game play.
