Provenance

Where it came from

Volbeat card number 53/100 hails from the Sandstorm expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, which was released internationally in September 2003. This set was notable for introducing Pokémon from the Hoenn region to the game, marking a significant transition point as the series moved away from the initial e-Reader functionality that characterized the earliest Ruby and Sapphire sets.

The card features artwork by illustrator Kyoko Umemoto, who captured the character with a clean, stylized aesthetic typical of the era's transition into the EX series format. As a grass-type uncommon, it was designed as a functional piece for players during the Advanced Generation competitive era, intended to offer specific utility within the game's mechanics rather than serving as a focal point of the collection.
