Provenance

Where it came from

Venipede 38/98 was released in 2011 as part of the Pokémon Trading Card Game set Emerging Powers. This expansion was notable for focusing on the then-new Generation V Pokémon introduced in the Black and White video games, aiming to integrate the Unova region's creatures into the competitive card landscape.

The card features artwork by Midori Harada, a long-time illustrator for the franchise known for a soft, distinctively painterly style. Harada's design for Venipede emphasizes its centipede-like, insectoid physiology while maintaining the accessible, creature-focused aesthetic that defined the Black and White era of the game.
