Where it came from
Released in May 2013 as part of the Pokémon Trading Card Game's Black & White: Plasma Freeze expansion, the Raticate card (88/116) captures the thematic integration of the Team Plasma aesthetic that defined this era of the game. The expansion focused on the villainous Team Plasma organization from the Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 video games, characterized by unique card borders and a cold, metallic blue color palette that distinguished these cards from the standard releases of the time.
The card was illustrated by 5ban Graphics, a design collective frequently commissioned by The Pokémon Company to produce high-quality, computer-generated digital artwork. By utilizing a sleek, modernized aesthetic, the illustrators aimed to reflect the futuristic technology associated with Team Plasma, resulting in a design that emphasizes the Pokémon's agility and status as an evolved participant in the Team Plasma ranks. Upon its release, it was well-received by players and collectors for its functional utility in the game's competitive meta, specifically its ability to manipulate damage counters on the opponent's active Pokémon.
