Sophocles Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
Sophocles’s Full Art Supporter first appeared in English in Burning Shadows, where Bulbapedia notes this artwork by Sanosuke Sakuma was released as both a regular and Full Art version in the set.
In-Game
This card ties directly to Sophocles’s role as Ula'ula Island’s Electric-type Trial Captain, whose Sun and Moon trial at Hokulani Observatory ends with the player earning Electrium Z after defeating Totem Vikavolt.
Set Lore
Burning Shadows is the set that officially brought Sophocles into the English TCG lineup, with the Pokémon TCG’s Burning Shadows card list placing him at #146/147 near the very end of the expansion.
Cultural Impact
Sophocles has one of the cleverest name references in Alola, with Bulbapedia noting his English name and Electric specialty may allude to the Greek tragedian Sophocles and the play Electra.
In-Game
A fun collector-grade bit of character trivia is that in Pokémon Sun and Moon, Sophocles is the only Trial Captain who does not give the player a set of Poké Balls after clearing his trial.
