Provenance

Where it came from

Released in the Sun & Moon base set in early 2017, this Torkoal card was part of the first expansion of the seventh generation of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Following the transition from the XY series, the Sun & Moon block introduced a refreshed visual aesthetic and updated card templates that emphasized cleaner layouts and bolded typefaces to better highlight the artwork, signaling a new era of play.

The illustration for this card was provided by artist Kyoko Umemoto. Known for a stylized and character-focused approach, Umemoto captured Torkoal in a static, grounded pose that highlights its tortoise-like shell and steam-venting mechanics. As a common rarity card, it was designed primarily for inclusion in booster packs to facilitate deck-building, reflecting the standard design language of the Sun & Moon era which sought to balance accessibility for newer players with updated card frame technology.
