Provenance

Where it came from

Released in August 2015 as part of the Ancient Origins expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game, the Rotom card numbered 29/98 represents the Plasma-type iteration of this versatile creature. The set was designed to introduce the concept of Ancient Traits, which provided powerful passive abilities to specific Pokémon, reflecting a shift toward more dynamic gameplay mechanics during the XY series era.

The card features artwork by illustrator Kouki Saitou, who is known for his clean, expressive style within the franchise. In this depiction, Rotom is rendered in its base form with a vibrant, energetic aesthetic consistent with its Electric-type classification, emphasizing its mischievous nature while remaining true to the foundational visual language of the Pokémon brand.
