Where it came from
Tadbulb, introduced in the Generation IX Pokémon titles Scarlet and Violet, is a pure Electric-type Pokémon known for its tadpole-like appearance and its ability to float by generating electricity. This card was released in the 2023 Obsidian Flames expansion, which serves as part of the Scarlet & Violet Series in the Pokémon Trading Card Game. The expansion was designed to highlight the new Terastal phenomenon, a central mechanic of the Paldea region that gives Pokémon crystalline appearances and altered type advantages during battle.
The artwork for this specific card, numbered 075/197, was illustrated by artist Tika Matsuno. The design stays true to the character's simplistic, globular aesthetic, capturing Tadbulb in a vibrant, high-energy environment characteristic of the modern Pokémon art style. As a common card, it was produced as a mass-market entry to ensure accessibility for players looking to incorporate the Electric-type Pokémon into their decks during the early stages of the Scarlet & Violet card game cycle.
