Provenance

Where it came from

Thwackey, the Grass-type Pokémon introduced in the Galar region, debuted as card 013/202 in the Sword & Shield base set, released in early 2020. This set marked the beginning of the eighth generation of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, introducing mechanics like V and VMAX cards while updating the visual design of standard cards to align with the aesthetic of the Nintendo Switch titles.

The card features artwork by illustrator Kouki Saitou, a long-time contributor to the TCG known for his clean, expressive style. In this depiction, Thwackey is shown mid-action with its signature sticks, reflecting its nature as the evolved form of Grookey. As an uncommon card, it served as a functional piece for players building Galar-themed decks rather than a high-value collector's piece, consistent with the standard role of mid-evolution stage cards within the set.
