Provenance

Where it came from

The Pupitar card, numbered 42/124, was released in the Fates Collide expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, which debuted in May 2016. This set was designed to introduce mechanics centered around the Zygarde Pokémon and the concept of fusion, representing a transitional era for the game's competitive meta. As an uncommon Fighting-type card, this piece serves as a mid-stage evolution in the Larvitar line, bridge-building the developmental gap before the powerful Tyranitar.

The artwork for this specific card was illustrated by Kouki Saitou, a long-time contributor to the Pokémon TCG known for a clean, expressive style. Saitou's depiction captures Pupitar in a moment of dormant intensity, emphasizing the character's hardened, pupal state. The card was well-received by players for its utility in evolving into various Tyranitar cards available during the XY-era of the game, cementing its place as a reliable staple for collectors focused on the Johto region evolution lines.
