Provenance

Where it came from

Swinub card 26/135 was released in 2013 as part of the Plasma Storm expansion, the eighth set in the Black & White series of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set introduced the Team Plasma thematic focus, which featured cards with distinct blue borders and the Team Plasma logo, marking a shift in the game's competitive landscape by integrating characters from the Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 video games.

The card features artwork by Midori Harada, a long-term illustrator for the franchise known for a soft, painterly style that captures the character's docile nature. As a common card, it served as a functional piece for collectors and players building water-type decks during the mid-2010s, reflecting the era's emphasis on evolving, lower-rarity creatures to support high-tier stage-two Pokémon.
