Provenance

Where it came from

Scyther card 001/162 was released as part of the Pokémon Trading Card Game expansion titled Temporal Forces, which debuted internationally in March 2024. As a common card, it serves as a foundational element of the set, designed to flesh out the grass-type roster for players building decks within the Scarlet & Violet series era. The artwork features the classic mantis-like Pokémon in a dynamic pose, consistent with the thematic focus on paradox and ancient-future aesthetics that defined the Temporal Forces collection.

The illustration is credited to an artist within the long-standing Pokémon TCG creative team, who maintained the creature's established aesthetic while integrating it into the modern, high-contrast visual style typical of the Scarlet & Violet card frame. Like many common-tier cards in this era, the design prioritizes clarity and functional playability, ensuring Scyther remains recognizable to long-time fans while fitting seamlessly into the strategic requirements of the contemporary competitive landscape.
