Provenance

Where it came from

Pignite 17/114 was released in 2011 as part of the initial Black & White expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set marked a significant shift in the game's aesthetic and mechanics, introducing the Generation V Pokémon from the Unova region. As the evolved form of the starter Pokémon Tepig, Pignite was designed to bridge the gap between the cute, initial starter and its final, more formidable evolution, Emboar.

The artwork for this card was illustrated by Kouki Saitou, a long-time contributor to the TCG known for his dynamic and character-focused style. Saitou captured Pignite in a characteristic mid-action stance, emphasizing the fiery and aggressive nature of the Fire-type Pokémon. Within the competitive landscape of the era, the card served as a reliable staple for players running Fire-themed decks, appreciated for its straightforward design and utility in building momentum during the early stages of a match.
