Provenance

Where it came from

The Sceptile-EX card, numbered 7/98, was released in the Ancient Origins expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game in August 2015. The expansion was designed to introduce mechanics centered on ancient traits and the return of popular legendary Pokémon, with Sceptile-EX serving as a key Grass-type powerhouse within the competitive landscape of the XY series.

The card features artwork by Toyste Beach, who utilized the bold, high-contrast aesthetic typical of the EX-series cards to emphasize Sceptile’s sleek and predatory design. During its era, the card was highly regarded by players for its 'Unseen Claw' attack, which benefited from the meta-prevalence of status conditions, solidifying its role as a tactical staple in competitive decks of the time.
