Provenance

Where it came from

The Quaquaval ex card, numbered 052/193, was released as part of the Paldea Evolved expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game, which debuted in 2023. This set was designed to introduce the secondary evolutions of the starter Pokémon from the Scarlet and Violet video games, marking a significant milestone in the Generation IX era of the card game.

The card features the final evolution of the Water-type starter, Quaquaval, rendered in the 'Double Rare' style characteristic of the ex-mechanic’s return. The artwork, credited to illustrator PLANETA Mochizuki, emphasizes the character’s dance-inspired aesthetic and vibrant personality, aiming to capture the fluid motion associated with its signature Tropical Kick move.
