Provenance

Where it came from

The Saguaro card, numbered 270/193, was released as part of the Paldea Evolved expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game in 2023. This Special Illustration Rare depicts Saguaro, the stern but kind-hearted biology teacher from the Paldea region featured in the Pokémon Scarlet and Violet video games. The card serves as a character study, highlighting his passion for sweets and his role as a mentor within the Naranja and Uva Academy.

The artwork for this card was created by Sanosuke Sakuma, who utilized a soft, painterly style that emphasizes the character's warmth and dedication to his students. By focusing on a candid, personal moment rather than a standard battle pose, the design resonated with players who appreciated the narrative depth of the Paldea region's faculty. It is highly regarded by collectors for its distinct artistic departure from traditional trainer card layouts.
