Provenance

Where it came from

The Quaquaval ex card, numbered 235/193, was released as part of the Paldea Evolved expansion in the Pokémon Trading Card Game, which debuted internationally in mid-2023. This card features the final evolution of the Water-type starter Pokémon introduced in the Scarlet and Violet video games, reflecting the vibrant, dance-inspired aesthetic of the Paldea region. As an ultra-rare Special Illustration Rare, it represents the modern shift toward highly detailed, artistic storytelling within the trading card medium, moving away from purely functional game design toward collectible fine art.

The illustration was crafted by artist Cona Nitanda, who chose to capture Quaquaval in a dynamic, theatrical pose that highlights its peacock-like plumage and fluid, rhythmic movements. By utilizing a saturated color palette and intricate linework, the design emphasizes the Pokémon's persona as an energetic performer. Within the collecting community, this card is frequently praised for its ability to distill the character’s personality into a single frame, cementing its status as a sought-after highlight of the Scarlet and Violet series.
