Where it came from
Palafin, a Water-type Pokémon introduced in the ninth generation of the franchise, appears here as card 22/84 from the Pitch Black expansion. This card features the creature in its Zero Form, reflecting the game mechanic where Palafin begins a battle in a nondescript state before transforming into its much more powerful Hero Form after being switched out of combat.
The design of Palafin draws heavily on the motif of the unassuming superhero, a narrative concept that permeates the Pokémon Scarlet and Violet titles. The illustration captures its resemblance to a dolphin, rendered in the clean, vibrant digital art style consistent with the modern era of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. As an uncommon card, it serves as a functional utility piece for players looking to utilize the unique 'Zero to Hero' transformation strategy in deck construction.
