Where it came from
Skrelp was introduced as part of the Pokémon TCG expansion set Forbidden Light, which was released internationally in May 2018. This set focused on the narrative of the Kalos region and the legendary Pokémon Zygarde, serving as a bridge between older mechanics and the evolving strategies of the Sun & Moon era.
The card illustration was executed by artist Saya Tsuruta, who utilized a distinct, soft-focus aesthetic to capture the aquatic, camouflaged nature of the Mock Kelp Pokémon. As a common psychic-type card, it was designed to function as a fundamental building block for players looking to explore Poison and Dragon-type deck compositions during that competitive cycle.
