Collector’s Notes
This Terrakion card is a Holo Rare from the Japanese set Miracle Twin (SM11), part of the Sun & Moon TCG era released in 2019. The artwork, by the art group Anesaki Dynamic, portrays Terrakion with a quiet confidence, surveying its domain from a craggy clifftop. Anesaki Dynamic is known for its clean, powerful CG illustrations, and this piece is no exception, using dramatic lighting to highlight Terrakion’s formidable, rock-hewn physique.
Thematically, Terrakion is a perfect specimen for the Geopik collection. As a member of the Legendary “Swords of Justice,” its identity is deeply rooted in the earth. Its name is derived from “terra” (Latin for earth), and its species is the “Cavern Pokémon” (がんくつポケモン). This connection is brilliantly reinforced by its first attack, “Gankutsu Ō,” which translates to “Cavern King,” leaving no doubt about its mastery over the geological world.
In the lore of the Pokémon world, Terrakion is said to be so powerful that it can smash through castle walls, a feat described in this card’s Pokédex entry. This immense physical strength, combined with its solid, rock-like appearance, makes it a living embodiment of tectonic force. This card is a fantastic representation of how the concepts of strength, stability, and raw power are visually and thematically tied to geology within the Pokémon universe.
