Where it came from
Scatterbug (13/162) was released in November 2015 as part of the XY—BREAKthrough expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set marked the introduction of the BREAK evolution mechanic, which allowed cards to be placed horizontally atop a Pokémon to grant them increased HP and a new attack or ability. The card itself represents the early-game Bug-type Pokémon introduced in the Generation VI titles, Pokémon X and Y, serving as a functional, common-rarity base for players building Grass-type decks within the XY-era format.
The artwork for this specific card was rendered by illustrator Sumiyoshi Kizuki, who has contributed numerous illustrations to the Pokémon TCG since the mid-2000s. Kizuki’s approach for this piece captures Scatterbug in a simple, static pose consistent with the visual style of early-stage evolution cards in the XY series. The design emphasizes the creature's distinct, oversized eyes and segmented body, providing a clean, accessible aesthetic that helps players identify the card quickly during casual or competitive play.
