Watchog

The Watchog card (113/135) was released in the Plasma Storm expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, which debuted in early 2013. This set was part of the Black & White series and centered on the Team Plasma narrative, characterized by the distinctive blue border design on Team Plasma-affiliated Pokémon cards. Watchog, a Normal-type Pokémon from the Unova region, was selected as a Rare card for this set to showcase its ability to utilize various energy types, reflecting the versatility often associated with Normal-type Pokémon in the game's mechanics.

The artwork for this specific card was commissioned from illustrator Kouki Saitou, who has been a prolific contributor to the Pokémon TCG for many years. Saitou utilized his signature clean, dynamic digital style to depict Watchog in an alert, sentinel-like pose, capturing its lore-based role as a keen-eyed observer. While Watchog was not a centerpiece of the competitive meta during the Black & White era, the card remains a notable inclusion for collectors focusing on the Team Plasma aesthetic and the completion of the 113/135 numbering sequence within the Plasma Storm set.
