Where it came from
Skarmory (87/135) was released in the Plasma Storm expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, which debuted in early 2013. This set focused on the Team Plasma narrative arc from the Black & White series, introducing the distinct blue-bordered Team Plasma card design to reflect the antagonistic organization's aesthetic. The card features artwork by Midori Harada, a long-time illustrator for the franchise known for a clean, stylized approach that emphasizes the sharp, metallic textures of the Armor Bird Pokémon.
As a rare-tier card within the set, the Skarmory 87/135 serves as a representative example of the series' mid-cycle design evolution. It highlights the transition toward the more aggressive card frames that characterized the later years of the Black & White era. While not as mechanically prominent as the set's Ultra Rare Team Plasma EX cards, it remains a notable piece for collectors focusing on the specific artistic shifts within the 2013-era releases.
