Provenance

Where it came from

Scatterbug was introduced in the Scarlet & Violet expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, which launched in early 2023. As a common card, it serves as a foundational element for players looking to evolve their Pokémon through the game's established evolutionary mechanics, representing the Generation VI bug-type Pokémon in a modern competitive landscape.

The card features an illustration by Kouki Saitou, a long-time contributor to the Pokémon TCG known for his approachable and clean aesthetic. Saitou’s design focuses on capturing the creature's simple, distinct silhouette, adhering to the standard card template introduced for the Scarlet & Violet series, which notably transitioned to a silver-border design to match the Japanese releases.
