Provenance

Where it came from

The Sableye card from the Plasma Freeze expansion was released in May 2013 as part of the overarching Black & White series. This set was heavily centered on the narrative of Team Plasma, a recurring antagonist faction in the Pokémon universe, and introduced game mechanics that highlighted their technology and influence. The expansion followed the release of the video games Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, anchoring the set in the aesthetic and lore of the Unova region.

The card features artwork by Toyste Beach, who frequently contributed to the TCG during the Black & White era. The design captures Sableye in a dark, cavernous environment, consistent with its Pokedex entries as a cave-dwelling Pokémon that feeds on gemstones. Within the competitive landscape of the time, this specific card became a staple in tournament decks due to its Junk Hunt attack, which allowed players to retrieve item cards from their discard pile, making it a highly regarded utility piece among strategic players.
