Where it came from
Sophocles was released as part of the Pokémon Trading Card Game expansion Burning Shadows, which debuted in the international market in August 2017. The card features the Trial Captain of the Alola region, designed by illustrator You Iriban. This specific iteration is a Full Art variant, characterized by its textured surface and holographic finish, emphasizing the character's role in the Sun and Moon video games as a specialist in Electric-type Pokémon.
As an ultra-rare Supporter card, it functions by allowing the player to discard two cards to draw four, a strategic tool designed to increase hand cycling speed during competitive play. The art style reflects the vibrant, character-focused aesthetic of the Sun and Moon era, aiming to capture the tech-savvy personality of Sophocles. Upon its release, it was well-received by collectors who favored the cleaner, stylistic approach of the Full Art series compared to standard-set card illustrations.
