Provenance

Where it came from

Slugma #77/109 was released in 2004 as part of the Team Rocket Returns expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set marked the return of the fan-favorite villainous organization to the card game, shifting the focus toward the concept of Pokémon owned by Team Rocket, which often featured darker aesthetics and unique game mechanics like Pokémon-ex.

The card features an illustration by the artist Mitsuhiro Arita, whose work has been foundational to the franchise since its inception. Arita’s portrayal of Slugma leans into the creature’s elemental nature, emphasizing the flowing, molten aesthetic characteristic of his style during the early-to-mid 2000s. As a common card, it was widely accessible to players of the era and remains a nostalgic piece for those who collected the set during its original run.
