Provenance

Where it came from

Released in early 2013, the Plasma Storm expansion was the eighth set in the Black & White series of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set introduced the Team Plasma thematic focus, which featured cards with distinct blue borders and the Team Plasma logo, marking a shift in the TCG's narrative focus toward the villainous organization from the Unova region games.

The Rotom card, numbered 49/135, features artwork by the illustrator Mizue. Known for a playful, digital aesthetic that suits the Plasma-type energy of the creature, the design emphasizes Rotom's ability to inhabit electronic devices. As an uncommon card, it serves as a functional piece for players building decks around the set's unique Team Plasma mechanics rather than as a primary chase rarity.
