Where it came from
Orthworm was introduced in the ninth generation of the Pokémon franchise within the Paldea region, debuting in the Scarlet and Violet video games. The creature is based on an earthworm but features a metallic, segmented body design, reflecting its Steel typing and the industrial aesthetic often found in modern creature design. This specific card, numbered 151/193, was released as part of the Paldea Evolved expansion in 2023, which served to bring many of the new Paldean species into the Pokémon Trading Card Game ecosystem.
The card artwork portrays Orthworm in its natural environment, emphasizing its subterranean, burrowing behavior through a dynamic illustration that highlights its armored, modular anatomy. As a rare-tier card within the set, it was designed to appeal to both players looking for defensive utility in the competitive meta and collectors focused on completing the expanded Pokedex. It was received as a standard but recognizable addition to the set, consistent with the visual standards established by The Pokémon Company for the Scarlet and Violet series.
