Provenance

Where it came from

Thorton (167/196) was released in September 2022 as part of the Pokémon Trading Card Game expansion Lost Origin, which drew its primary inspiration from the mechanics and themes found in the video game Pokémon Legends: Arceus. As a Supporter card, Thorton serves a strategic mechanical function, allowing players to swap an active Pokémon with a Basic Pokémon from their discard pile while maintaining all attached cards and damage counters.

The card features artwork by illustrator Ken Sugimori, one of the most prominent figures in the franchise's visual history. Sugimori’s design emphasizes a clean, character-focused aesthetic that captures the trainer's distinctive, slightly eccentric personality. Since its release, the card has been recognized by the competitive community as a niche but effective tool for tactical deck building, valued more for its utility in gameplay than for its rarity or aesthetic collectibility.
