Provenance

Where it came from

Poochyena appeared as card number 16/39 in the Kalos Starter Set, released in 2013 to coincide with the launch of the Pokémon X and Y video games. This set was designed to introduce players to the mechanics of the sixth generation of the franchise, featuring a simplified card layout and a focused selection of Pokémon native to the Kalos region.

The artwork for this specific card emphasizes the darker, canine nature of Poochyena, aligning with its classification as a Darkness-type Pokémon. While the card is a standard common-rarity print, it remains a notable piece for collectors focusing on the transition between the Black & White and XY eras of the Pokémon Trading Card Game.
