Provenance

Where it came from

The Slugma card from the Great Encounters expansion was released by The Pokémon Company International in February 2008. This set was notable for its focus on Pokémon that had been highlighted in the Sinnoh region, blending classic designs with the contemporary mechanics of the Diamond and Pearl era of the trading card game.

The card features artwork by illustrator Ken Sugimori, whose minimalist and iconic style has defined the visual identity of the franchise since its inception. His depiction of Slugma emphasizes the creature's molten, fluid composition, adhering to the standard aesthetic guidelines of the period where fire-type Pokémon were typically rendered against high-contrast, elemental-themed backgrounds.
