Where it came from
Orthworm ex 162/142 was released as part of the Scarlet & Violet—Stellar Crown expansion, which debuted in late 2024. As an Ultra Rare card, it represents the specialized 'ex' mechanic within the modern Pokémon Trading Card Game, designed to feature powerful versions of Pokémon with enhanced HP and unique abilities. The artwork highlights the creature's segmented, steel-like body, emphasizing the metallic typing that defines its strategic role in the game.
The design of Orthworm within the trading card game draws directly from its debut in the Paldea region of the Pokémon video games. Illustrators for this set aimed to capture the worm-like Pokémon's defensive capabilities, often focusing on its signature 'Earth Eater' ability or its high defensive stats. The card is a staple of the Stellar Crown set, reflecting the ongoing aesthetic evolution of modern card borders and holographic foiling techniques used to distinguish higher-rarity collectibles from standard base-set cards.
