Provenance

Where it came from

The Steelix card from the Paradox Rift expansion was released in late 2023 as part of the broader Scarlet & Violet series of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Designed to integrate the mechanics of the Tera Pokémon phenomenon, this card features the iconic Steel-type Pokémon introduced in the Johto region. The artwork emphasizes the creature's immense, serpentine form, capturing the industrial aesthetic that defines Steelix within the game's evolving meta.

This specific illustration was produced by an artist contracted through The Pokémon Company, adhering to the standard visual language established for the Paradox Rift set. The set itself was designed to bridge traditional gameplay with the unique Paradox mechanics, and while this Rare-tier card is primarily a utility piece for players, it is recognized by collectors for its clean, high-fidelity digital art that maintains the distinct character design sensibilities of the franchise.
