Provenance

Where it came from

The Voltorb card (21/108) was released in the Roaring Skies expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, which debuted in 2015. This set is primarily remembered for its focus on the legendary Dragon-type Pokémon of the Hoenn region, specifically Rayquaza, and its inclusion of powerful Ancient Traits that altered typical gameplay mechanics. As a common card, this iteration of Voltorb was designed to provide foundational utility for players building decks around the set’s specialized themes.

The artwork for this specific card was rendered by illustrator Mizue, who has contributed extensively to the Pokémon TCG aesthetic over many years. Mizue’s design captures the classic, simplistic silhouette of Voltorb, a Pokémon modeled after the franchise's iconic Poké Ball. The illustration relies on bright, clean colors and dynamic shading to emphasize the character’s electric typing, consistent with the visual standards maintained throughout the XY-era sets to ensure card readability and brand cohesion.
