Provenance

Where it came from

Released in August 2015 as part of the Ancient Origins expansion, this Sableye card marks the eighth main set of the XY series in the Pokémon Trading Card Game. The expansion was characterized by the introduction of Ancient Traits, a gameplay mechanic that provided passive abilities to specific Pokémon, reflecting the theme of mysterious, prehistoric, or magically imbued creatures within the franchise's lore.

The card features artwork by Miki Tanaka, a prolific illustrator known for a soft, painterly approach that frequently contrasts with the sharper, more digital aesthetic of other series artists. In this depiction, Sableye is rendered in a dark, cavernous setting consistent with its Pokedex entry as a creature that dwells in deep caves and feeds on gemstones, capturing its mischievous and solitary nature.
