Provenance

Where it came from

The Sneasel card numbered 086/172 was released in early 2022 as part of the Brilliant Stars expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set was notable for introducing the VSTAR mechanic, a gameplay feature that replaced the VMAX cards as the primary focus, aiming to rebalance the competitive meta while highlighting popular Generation IV Pokémon.

The card features artwork by illustrator Kouki Saitou, a long-time contributor to the franchise known for his clean lines and dynamic compositions. Saitou’s depiction of Sneasel emphasizes the Pokémon's sharp, agile nature, capturing its typical dark-type aesthetic within the context of the Sword and Shield era’s polished, modern art style.
