Where it came from
Orthworm, a steel-type creature introduced in the ninth generation of the Pokémon franchise, made its trading card debut in the Scarlet & Violet series. Card number 224/193 was released as part of the Paldea Evolved expansion in 2023, specifically designated as an Illustration Rare. This category of cards is celebrated by collectors for prioritizing immersive, artistic storytelling over traditional action-oriented poses, aiming to depict the creature within its natural environment.
The artwork for this particular card was rendered by illustrator Shiburingaru. Eschewing the stark, technical aesthetic often associated with Steel-type Pokémon, the design focuses on a lighthearted, observational perspective that captures Orthworm interacting with the geography of the Paldea region. Upon its release, the card was well-received by the collecting community for its distinct style and its contribution to the expanded artistic breadth of the Paldea Evolved set.
