Provenance

Where it came from

Released in 2009 as part of the Platinum expansion, this card captures the transitionary nature of the cocoon Pokémon Silcoon. The Platinum set served as the inaugural release of the Platinum series, marking a shift in the Pokémon Trading Card Game to feature the distortions of the Distortion World and the presence of the legendary Pokémon Giratina.

The artwork for this card was executed by Ken Sugimori, the primary character designer and illustrator for the Pokémon franchise. In keeping with the aesthetic of the era, the design focuses on a clean, isolated depiction of the subject against a simple background, emphasizing the creature's biological evolution and its status as a foundational uncommon card within the broader gameplay mechanics of the time.
