Provenance

Where it came from

The Paras card, numbered 004/196, was released as part of the Lost Origin expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game in September 2022. This set was heavily inspired by the themes and aesthetics of the video game Pokémon Legends: Arceus, focusing on the Hisui region and incorporating elements like VSTAR powers and the Radiant Pokémon mechanic to reflect the game's unique approach to the franchise.

The artwork for this specific card was created by illustrator sowsow, a frequent contributor to the modern era of the trading card game. Known for a soft, painterly style, sowsow’s interpretation of Paras emphasizes the creature's naturalistic, mushroom-dwelling habitat. As a common card, it serves as a foundational element for deck-building and set completion, valued by collectors primarily for its aesthetic contribution to the broader Lost Origin visual narrative.
