Provenance

Where it came from

Volbeat 17/160 was released as part of the Primal Clash expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game, which debuted in early 2015. This set drew inspiration from the Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire video games, focusing heavily on the Primal Reversion of legendary Pokémon and the introduction of Ancient Traits. As a common card in the set, this Volbeat serves as a functional grass-type support card designed to integrate with the mechanics of the Hoenn-region themed expansion.

The card features an illustration by Midori Harada, a prolific artist within the Pokémon franchise known for her vibrant, character-focused style. Harada’s design emphasizes the bioluminescent nature of Volbeat, capturing the creature in a dynamic, naturalistic pose that aligns with the set's aesthetic of exploring the native habitats of these Pokémon. Like many common cards from this era, it was intended primarily for deck building and providing accessible gameplay options for players navigating the Primal Clash meta.
