Provenance

Where it came from

Sophocles, numbered 123/147, was released in 2017 as part of the Pokémon Trading Card Game expansion Burning Shadows. The set is based on the Sun and Moon generation of the video games, which introduced the tropical Alola region. Within the game's lore, Sophocles is a specialist in Electric-type Pokémon and a Trial Captain who challenges trainers to prove their worth during the island trials.

The card was illustrated by Ken Sugimori, the primary character designer and art director for the Pokémon franchise. In keeping with his classic illustrative style, Sugimori opted for a clean, focused depiction of the character that emphasizes his role as a tech-savvy tinkerer. The card functions as a Supporter card, allowing players to discard two cards to draw four, reflecting his strategic and calculating personality as a character.
