Where it came from
The Octillery card, numbered 178/163, was released as part of the Sword & Shield—Battle Styles expansion in March 2021. This set introduced the 'Battle Styles' mechanic to the Pokémon Trading Card Game, which categorized cards into either 'Single Strike' or 'Rapid Strike' fighting styles. Octillery was included specifically as a Rapid Strike Pokémon, designed to function as a crucial engine card for players due to its 'Rapid Strike Search' ability, which allows a player to search their deck for any Rapid Strike card once per turn.
The card features an illustration by the artist Souichirou Gunjima, who utilized a gold-etched secret-rare treatment to distinguish it from the standard card design. This variant was created to offer players and collectors a visually striking, high-rarity version of a competitive staple. Upon its release, the card was well-received by the competitive community for its utility in decks and by collectors for its distinct, metallic aesthetic that highlighted the intricate details of the octopus-like creature.
