Provenance

Where it came from

Volbeat (8/146) was released in 2014 as part of the XY base set, which marked the transition into the sixth generation of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set was designed to introduce the Kalos region to players, featuring new mechanics and the debut of the Fairy type. Volbeat appears here as a grass-type Pokémon, maintaining its role as a common, supportive presence within the competitive meta of the era.

The card features illustration by Hitoshi Ariga, an artist well-regarded for his dynamic and clean style within the Pokémon franchise. Ariga often emphasizes the creature's personality and natural habitat, and this iteration of Volbeat captures the species in a crisp, bright aesthetic that defined the XY-series card design. It was received by collectors as a standard uncommon card, prized primarily by those completing the XY set or those fond of the insect-themed Pokémon introduced in earlier generations.
