Lore

Why it matters

This Piloswine card from the Plasma Storm set represents the inclusion of the Team Plasma aesthetic, which visually distinguished Pokémon affiliated with the villainous organization through unique card borders and character designs.

Provenance

Where it came from

Piloswine (27/135) was released in 2013 as part of the Plasma Storm expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set was centered around the narrative of Team Plasma, a villainous organization in the Unova region that utilized specialized Pokémon characterized by blue-accented aesthetic designs. As a Water-type card, this Piloswine iteration reflects the shift in set focus toward the Team Plasma mechanical theme, which introduced specific trainer cards and support structures tailored to these particular variants.

The artwork for this card was provided by illustrator Midori Haru, who has contributed numerous illustrations to the franchise. The design emphasizes the creature’s prehistoric, fur-covered appearance while adhering to the standard artistic requirements of the Black & White series card templates. Upon its release, the card was generally viewed as a standard uncommon piece intended for set completion and limited gameplay formats, serving as a functional evolution stage within the Plasma Storm expansion rather than a central competitive focus.
