Provenance

Where it came from

The Volcarona card, numbered 13/101, was released in the Plasma Blast expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game in 2013. This set was part of the Black & White series, which integrated the Team Plasma narrative arc into the game's mechanics. The design centers on the Sun Pokémon, Volcarona, presented in its standard form rather than its Team Plasma-branded variant, and serves as a rare fire-type attacker within the competitive meta of that period.

The card features artwork by illustrator Naoki Saito, a prominent artist known for his vibrant and dynamic style within the Pokémon TCG. Saito’s work on this card emphasizes the creature's fiery, moth-like appearance, utilizing bold lines and warm hues to complement its fire typing. Upon release, the card was received as a standard collectible for fans of the Unova region, valued more for its aesthetic contribution to the set's artistic landscape than for widespread tournament dominance.
